How to distinguish between mold machine and CNC milling machine?

Mold is a multiple processing machine, the product of comprehensive processing, generally will not be a single processing equipment processing out, involving multiple processing equipment.

Lathe is a single rely on the workpiece rotation, through the turning tool into the tool to complete the processing of the machine. Lathe is only processing the entire mold in which the machine, and the mold is required to complete the processing of many machines.

Moulds are generally divided into: injection moulds, hardware moulds, hardware moulds are also called stamping moulds, stamping moulds are installed on the punching machine to work, injection moulds are installed on the injection molding machine to work.

Mold use and lathe is generally okay, just in the process of mold processing may use the lathe, may not use.

The machine of adding type mold is called machining center, or CNC milling machine. Lathe is the workpiece rotation tool does not rotate, you said the lathe is mold milling machine, this is the workpiece does not move, tool rotation processing. It looks like there is rotation, but the processing capacity is completely different.
