Difference between CNC machining centers and other CNC machine tools

Case, News 2025-08-06

The difference between CNC machining center and NC lathe
The CNC machining center is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC), which can automatically change tools and is suitable for the processing of high-precision complex parts; while the NC lathe requires manual tool change and is mainly used for turning.

The difference between CNC machining center and compound processing machine
The CNC machining center mainly performs milling of fixed workpieces, while the compound processing machine combines the functions of lathes and milling machines, and can perform turning and milling, which is suitable for scenes that require multiple processing functions.
