Classification of machine tools

1. Ordinary machine tools: including ordinary lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, milling machines, planing machines, etc.;
2. Precision machine tools: including grinders, gear processing machine tools, thread processing machine tools and other various precision machine tools;
3. High-precision machine tools: including coordinate boring machines, gear grinders, thread grinders, high-precision hobbing machines, high-precision engraving machines and other high-precision machine tools;
4. CNC machine tool: CNC machine tool is the abbreviation of digital control machine tool;
5. According to the size of the workpiece and the weight of the machine tool, it can be divided into instrument machine tools, small and medium-sized machine tools, large machine tools, heavy machine tools and super heavy machine tools;
6. According to the processing accuracy, it can be divided into ordinary precision machine tools, precision machine tools and high-precision machine tools;
7. According to the degree of automation, it can be divided into manually operated machine tools, semi-automatic machine tools and automatic machine tools;
8. According to the control method of machine tools, they can be divided into profiling machine tools, program-controlled machine tools, CNC machine tools, adaptive control machine tools, machining centers and flexible manufacturing systems;
9. According to the processing method or processing object, it can be divided into lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, grinders, gear processing machine tools, thread processing machine tools, spline processing machine tools, milling machines, planers, slotting machines, broaching machines, special processing machine tools, sawing machines and scoring machines. wait. Each category is divided into several groups according to its structure or processing objects, and each group is divided into several types;
10. According to the scope of application of machine tools, they can be divided into general, specialized and special machine tools.
Among the special machine tools, there is an automatic or semi-automatic machine tool that is based on standard universal components and is equipped with a small number of special components designed according to the specific shape or processing technology of the workpiece. It is called a combination machine tool.
For the processing of one or several parts, a series of machine tools are arranged according to the process, and equipped with automatic loading and unloading devices and automatic workpiece transfer devices between machine tools. The group of machine tools formed in this way is called an automatic production line for cutting processing.
The flexible manufacturing system is composed of a set of digitally controlled machine tools and other automated process equipment. It is controlled by an electronic computer and can automatically process workpieces with different processes and can adapt to multiple varieties of production.
