CNCesztergagépek, or CNC lathes, are automated machine tools that perform lathing operations with computer numerical control. These machines are used to cut and shape metal and other materials into precise cylindrical or conical forms. Unlike traditional lathes, CNC lathes are guided by a computer program, allowing for highly accurate and repeatable machining of complex parts.

The core of a CNC lathe's operation lies in its control system. This system interprets G-code instructions, a standardized programming language, to direct the movement of the cutting tool along multiple axes. This precise control enables the creation of intricate geometries, tight tolerances, and various surface finishes. CNC lathes are equipped with a spindle that holds and rotates the workpiece, while the cutting tool, mounted on a tool turret, moves in and out and along the length of the rotating material.

The advantages of using CNC lathes include increased precision, improved efficiency, reduced material waste, and the ability to produce identical parts repeatedly. They are widely employed in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and general engineering for producing components like shafts, bolts, screws, and intricate mechanical parts. The automation aspect also allows for unattended operation, further boosting productivity. Regular maintenance and skilled programming are essential for optimal performance and longevity of CNC lathe machines.
