Slant bed CNC lathe is a CNC lathe with a bed guide rail tilt angle. Slant bed CNC lathe and flat bed CNC lathe have obvious differences in appearance. There are several specifications such as bed guide rail tilt 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. Slant bed CNC lathe was not widely used before because its price was very high, much more expensive than flat bed CNC lathe. Many mechanical processing manufacturers did not need to purchase slant bed CNC lathe, but as customers' requirements for workpiece precision became higher and higher, the first advantage of slant bed CNC lathe was reflected. It is obvious that the precision of slant bed CNC lathe is much higher than that of flat bed CNC lathe.
Structurally, the flat bed CNC lathe has hard rails, while the inclined bed CNC lathe has linear rails. After a few years of use, if the accuracy is a bit inaccurate, the inclined bed CNC lathe can be replaced with linear rails for continued use, while the flat bed CNC lathe has hard rails, and it is difficult to guarantee its accuracy loss and maintain accuracy. This is another advantage of the inclined bed CNC lathe. In addition, the inclined bed CNC lathe has better chip removal, and can also be equipped with a milling head to become a milling compound, which should be the third advantage of the inclined bed CNC lathe.
The price of the inclined bed CNC lathe is very high, but it can complete many workpieces that the flat bed cannot do, which is the so-called value for money.
