The classification of machine tools is very diverse. Common types of machine tools include:
1. Lathe: It is used to rotate workpieces and perform cutting operations through tools, and can process cylindrical workpieces.
2. Milling machine: By rotating the cutting tool to perform cutting operations on the workpiece, it can achieve the processing of planes, curved surfaces and complex shapes.
3. Drilling machine: It is used for drilling operations and cuts on the workpiece by rotating the drill bit
4. Grinding machine: It is used for grinding workpieces to improve their smoothness and precision.
5. Shearing machine: It is used for cutting metal plates, pipes and other materials.
6. Press: It is used for stamping operations on metal materials to manufacture parts and assemblies.
The development of machine tools is inseparable from the progress of numerical control technology. Modern machine tools usually adopt Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology to control the movement and operation of the machine tools through pre-programmed instructions, achieving higher accuracy, efficiency and degree of automation
