In the wood industry, the emergence of lathes is undoubtedly a historic turning point. In ancient times, lathes were mainly controlled by hand or foot, and the workpiece was controlled by ropes for cutting. The earliest modern lathe was invented by Mozley, a British mechanical inventor, in 1797. From then on, the lathe has been developing towards automation, precision, and intelligence, until today's CNC wood lathe.

Nowadays, the CNC wood lathe has become the most widely used equipment in the wood processing industry. For wood enterprises, the accuracy and intelligence of a CNC wood lathe and its high work efficiency are the important reasons why they choose to use a wood lathe.

With the development of the times, large and medium-sized wood enterprises that have begun to take shape have begun to use CNC wood lathes to replace ordinary wood lathes.

Compared with traditional lathes, CNC wood lathes have those advantages:

1. Automatic operation mode, more intelligent

Compared with traditional lathes, the automation of CNC wood machine tools has been greatly improved. The CNC wood lathe does not require workers to operate the equipment at any time but just uses a programming language to program the drawing content into the computer of the CNC lathe before processing. The computer will actively analyze it and command the equipment through the central processing unit. Such a CNC machine tool is a great relief for manpower and greatly improves handover accuracy.

2. It is imperative to improve work efficiency for one machine to produce more

The traditional lathe can intelligently process one product at a time, while the CNC wood lathe with two axes and two knives in the CNC wood lathe can process two identical products at the same time. It is easy to operate, easy to draw, easy to understand, and one click to convert product styles. It can be operated without a little training from professionals. And the fully automated CNC wood lathe can operate 2-3 sets at the same time, which greatly improves the processing efficiency, saves labor costs, and brings good economic benefits.

3. Simple operation, high precision, and high-cost performance

Compared with traditional wood lathes, CNC wood lathes have the advantages of simple operation and high precision. Now there are more and more manufacturers of CNC wood lathes on the market, and there are more and more types of lathes.

What are the precautions for the operation of a CNC wood lathe?

1. The operator of the CNC wood lathe must be familiar with the function of each button and the precautions for operation. Before processing, the protective door of the machine tool must be closed, and the tools around the machine tool should be placed neatly for easy access and placement, to improve the work efficiency.

2. Machine tool operators must wear protective equipment before operating the machine tool.

3. After the work, clean the machine tool and control equipment and maintain the machine tool in time. When repairing electrical equipment, the power supply must be cut off first.

4. After the tool is clamped, try cutting by hand.

5. It is forbidden to wear gloves when using the machine tool. Pay attention to the warning contents on the warning signs of each part of the machine tool. After the machine tool is powered on, the operator shall not open and touch the parts of the machine tool with lightning symbols and high-voltage devices to prevent electric shock. Don't open the machine tool when it thunders, because the instantaneous high-voltage and large current when lightning strikes are easy to impact the machine tool, causing module burning or change data loss, causing unnecessary losses.

6. Measure the workpiece when the machine tool stops.

7. When removing chips, use specific tools to avoid cutting hands and feet.

8. When the machine tool is running, do not remove the chips and avoid touching the moving parts of the machine tool with your hands.
