2 Axis CNC lathe

What is the Axis of a lathe?

In CNC lathes, an “axis” refers to a linear or rotational axis on the machine that is used to position and guide the movement of the workpiece or tool. The number and type of axes on a CNC lathe determine the machine’s machining capabilities and complexity. Each axis represents a direction of movement, and more axes mean the machine can perform more complex machining operations.

Common Types of Axis on CNC Lathes:

X-Axis: Typically refers to the direction in which the tool moves horizontally (or radially).
Z-Axis: Refers to the direction in which the tool moves longitudinally (or axially), which is usually the primary cutting direction for lathes.
Y-Axis: On some lathes, the Y-axis provides a third direction of movement perpendicular to both the X and Z axes, allowing for more complex machining operations, such as angled holes and keyways.
C-Axis: Refers to the rotation axis of the worktable, allowing the workpiece to rotate. In conjunction with movements of the X and Z axes, it enables the machining of complex surfaces.
B-Axis and A-Axis: Usually refer to the tilting axis of the tool or workpiece, used in five-axis machining to allow the tool to work on the workpiece at various angles.

2-Axis CNC Lathes

A 2-axis CNC lathe is the most basic configuration, featuring only the X and Z axes. It is suitable for simple turning operations. It can perform basic turning operations such as turning diameters, facing, drilling, and threading. This configuration is ideal for mass production of simple-shaped parts, such as screws, nuts, and simple shaft parts.

All our CNC lathe models come with this 2-axis basic configuration, offering a solid foundation for a wide range of turning applications while maintaining simplicity and efficiency in operation.
