CNC turning centers and lathe machinery look are the same, but they usually refer to slightly different machine tools. Lathes can usually only turn, while turning centers can be more advanced. These machines can perform end face, thread, knurling, drilling, boring, reaming, and taper turning. Horizontal CNC lathes are more common, while vertical machine tools use gravity. CNC turning centers can benefit from predictive maintenance.

Lathes machining is mainly used for removal processing and is a common type of machine tool in the machine tool industry.

CNC Machining Center (CNC Machining Centre) can be said to be the integration of machine functions. A CNC Machining Center covers a variety of machining capabilities. One-stop manufacturing reduces machine replacement time and improves production efficiency.

A lathe machine is a machine tool that fixes a workpiece on a rotating spindle and is also the most widely used machine tool.
