Advantages of Our Types Of Automatic Lathe

Full-Type Coverage For All Demands

The 4 main types of automatic lathes include ordinary, CNC , Multi-Spindle, and Swiss-type Automatic Lathes.

Type-Specific Efficiency Optimization

Each type targets unique scenarios—ordinary models for simple bulk parts, CNC types for custom complex parts, multi-spindle for high-volume tasks and Swiss-type for micro-precision components.

Uniformly Easy Operation Across Types

No matter the type, all adopt simplified control or preset templates. Workers can switch between types with basic training, reducing labor learning costs for factories with diverse needs.

Consistent Quality Across Types

All types adopt wear-resistant cores and stable structures. Ensure reliable performance in long-hour operation, with quality consistency meeting industry standards.

Types Of Automatic Lathe

Product Application Scenarios 

Ordinary Automatic Lathes – Hardware Fasteners

Mass-produce steel bolts, aluminum rivets and iron nuts. Simple operation and low cost fit small hardware workshops’ high-volume supply needs.

CNC Automatic Lathes – Electronic Micro-Parts

Process custom micro-shafts for headphones and cameras. Flexible parameter adjustment adapts to frequent design changes of electronic products.

Multi-Spindle Automatic Lathes – Home Appliance Compressor Parts

Produce aluminum compressor valve plates in bulk. High efficiency and stable performance meet home appliance brands’ assembly line delivery requirements.

Swiss-Type Automatic Lathes – Medical Mini-Parts

Machining stainless steel micro-shafts for medical syringes. Ultra-precision fits medical industry strict standards, suitable for high-end small-batch production.

FAQ

Do different types have different maintenance difficulties?

The only difference is that Swiss-type Lathes require minor adjustments for precision calibration, and Hengxing provides free tutorials to support their maintenance.
Ordinary automatic lathes. They meet basic bulk processing needs with low purchase and maintenance costs, ideal for small-scale production.
Yes. Many customers use CNC and multi-spindle types together—CNC for custom orders, multi-spindle for bulk tasks, and we provide unified maintenance guidance.
Core tools like cutting blades are universal; type-specific accessories (e.g., multi-spindle tool rests) are provided with the machine, ensuring compatibility.
