Compared with Flat bed CNC lathe, Inclined bed CNC lathe have multiple advantages.

Cutting rigidity: The cross-sectional area of the inclined bed is larger than that of a flat bed of the same specification, making it more resistant to bending and twisting. The cutting tool of Inclined bed CNC lathe cuts downwards on the inclined side of the workpiece, and the cutting force is basically consistent with the direction of gravity of the workpiece, so the spindle runs more smoothly and is less likely to cause cutting vibration. When a Flat bed CNC lathe is cutting, the cutting force between the tool and the workpiece is 90 ° to the weight of the workpiece, which can easily cause vibration.

Processing accuracy: The layout of Inclined bed CNC lathe directly affects the clearance of the X-direction ball screw, and gravity acts directly on the axial direction of the screw, resulting in almost zero reverse clearance during transmission. The X-direction rod of the Flat bed CNC lathe is not affected by axial gravity, and the gap cannot be directly eliminated. This is the inherent precision advantage of Inclined bed CNC lathe.

Production efficiency: Inclined bed CNC lathe have a stronger load-bearing capacity, can withstand larger workpieces, and have faster processing speeds, which can significantly improve production efficiency. In addition, the automatic feeding system of Inclined bed CNC lathe is more excellent, which can achieve automated tool rotation and automatic tool change during the machining process, saving a lot of labor and further improving production efficiency.

Processing range: The tool library for Inclined bed CNC lathe is more diverse, capable of using a variety of different tools, and has stronger adaptability. Meanwhile, Inclined bed CNC lathe have stronger processing capabilities and can handle workpieces of different materials and shapes without being limited by traditional machine tools.

Overall, Inclined bed CNC lathe have significant advantages in cutting rigidity, machining accuracy, production efficiency, and machining range. However, the choice of which type of CNC machining center to use depends on specific machining requirements and production environment.
