What is the difference between the SZGH-36J CNC lathe and a manual lathe?

1. Lathe Operation Method

1) Manual Lathe: Manual lathes are manually operated, with workers controlling tool movement using handwheels, levers, and other controls.

The machining process relies on the operator's experience and feel, with cutting and feeding actions performed manually.

2) SZGH-36J CNC Lathe: Automatically controlled by a CNC control system.

G-code is written and executed, and the machine automatically executes machining steps.

2. Lathe Processing Accuracy

Manual lathes: Accuracy is affected by manual operation and experience, with a typical tolerance of ±0.05 to 0.1mm.

This lathe is suitable for applications with low precision requirements or manual finishing of individual parts.

The SZGH-36J CNC lathe: High precision, maintaining a stable ±0.005 to 0.02mm, with excellent batch consistency.

It can easily process complex curved surfaces and high-precision parts.

3. Lathe Processing Efficiency

 Manual lathes: Slow speeds require constant manual operation, measurement, and adjustment. Machining complex shapes is difficult and inefficient.

The SZGH-36J CNC lathe has a high degree of automation and can operate continuously for extended periods of time.

It offers extremely high efficiency during batch processing and fast tool changes (with the turret and tool magazine).
