With 72 years of lathe manufacturing expertise, this article explores the core differences between manual and CNC lathes to guide equipment selection. Beyond control systems, distinctions lie in structure, processing capability, and application. Manual lathes, mechanical and operator-dependent, suit small-batch, simple tasks with lower cost but limited precision. CNC lathes, using servo motors and closed-loop feedback, achieve high precision (e.g., 0.008mm repeatability), ideal for mass production and complex parts, despite higher initial investment. The article emphasizes choosing based on production needs: manual for flexibility and low volume, CNC for standardization and high precision. They are complementary, not competitive.
