This video showcases a special CNC copy lathe — the CK-1520-4M — whose core function is to enable rapid profile machining for various irregularly shaped products.
The machining method of this CNC lathe differs significantly from traditional lathes. It is equipped with an indexable rotating lathe center that precisely adjusts the workpiece angle. The cutting tool adopts a combination of a "milling cutter head + cup-type turning tools". Each milling cutter head is uniformly mounted with 8 replaceable cup-type turning tools. During machining, the milling cutter head operates at high speed, and the material is removed by the cup-type turning tools through a milling action. Additionally, this CNC lathe features a four-station design, allowing simultaneous milling of four workpieces, significantly improving production efficiency.
The key characteristic of this lathe is its expertise in the rapid milling of stock materials. It addresses the technical limitations of traditional CNC wood lathes in handling non-cylindrical milling tasks, effectively filling a gap in the market. It is widely applicable for processing irregular wooden products such as table and chair legs, sofa legs, bed legs, axe handles, hammer handles, and wooden gun stocks.
