CNC lathes and CNC machining centers are all automated equipment, which play an important role in modern industrial processing and production, but there are still some differences between the two:
The definition of CNC lathe:

CNC lathe is a high-precision, high-efficiency automated machine tool. Equipped with multi-station turret or power turret, the machine tool has a wide range of processing technology, can process linear cylinders, diagonal cylinders, arcs and various complex workpieces such as threads, slots, worms, with linear interpolation, arc Interpolated various compensation functions and played a good economic effect in the mass production of complex parts.

CNC machining center definition:

CNC machining center is a high-efficiency automatic machine tool composed of mechanical equipment and numerical control system for processing complex parts. Its comprehensive processing capability is strong, and the workpiece can complete more processing contents after one clamping.

The CNC lathe is suitable for machining shaft parts. The CNC machining center is suitable for adding box parts with complicated geometrical parts. Of course, there are several cars that are generally only two axes and two linkages, while the CNC machining center has at least three axes!
