Service Overview
Slant-bed CNC lathes are advanced machining equipment developed from traditional CNC lathes, featuring an inclined bed guide design. This unique structure effectively improves the machine’s stress distribution and chip removal performance, providing a solid foundation for high-precision, high-efficiency turning operations. By precisely controlling the movement of the cutting tool along the X and Z axes, various operations can be performed on rotating parts, including external turning, internal turning, taper turning, grooving, cutting off, and thread machining.
We specialize in providing high-rigidity heavy-duty turning services. Our professional technical team possesses extensive technical expertise and considerable experience in precision turning of titanium alloy aerospace components. We can meticulously develop machining programs based on customer part drawings and process requirements, ensuring that every machining detail is precisely executed. Whether it’s parts requiring standard precision or precision parts with stringent standards for accuracy and surface quality, we can utilize slant-bed CNC lathe technology to create high-quality products for our customers.

Our advantages
- Quality Assurance System: We have established a strict and comprehensive quality control process, from raw material inspection and real-time monitoring of the manufacturing process to comprehensive testing of finished products. We utilize advanced testing equipment to rigorously inspect parts, ensuring that every product meets high-quality standards and providing our customers with reliable products.
- Efficient chip removal and heat dissipation: The inclined guide rail design allows chips to quickly slide away from the processing area due to gravity, effectively preventing chip accumulation from affecting machining accuracy and tool life. At the same time, excellent heat dissipation performance reduces machine tool thermal deformation, further ensuring machining accuracy and stability.
- High-precision machining: The high-rigidity structure and precision transmission components of the slant-rail CNC lathe, combined with advanced CNC systems and error compensation technology, enable high-precision positioning and motion control, ensuring the dimensional and geometrical accuracy of parts. This meets the stringent precision requirements of high-end manufacturing fields, such as aero-engine spindles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the prices for machining on a slant-bed CNC lathe determined?
The quotation is primarily determined by factors such as the complexity of the parts (shape, size, precision requirements, etc.), the difficulty of the manufacturing process, material costs, processing time, tool wear, and equipment usage costs. We will perform a precise calculation based on the detailed drawings and specific requirements you provide and give you a reasonable quote.
How can the surface quality of parts machined on a slant-bed CNC lathe be guaranteed?
We ensure the surface quality of the parts through several measures. Firstly, we use high-precision cutting tools and regularly sharpen and replace them; secondly, we optimize machining process parameters, such as rationally selecting cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth, to reduce the impact of cutting forces on surface quality; thirdly, we strictly control machine tool vibration and thermal deformation during the machining process; and finally, we perform necessary surface treatments on the machined parts, such as polishing and grinding, to further improve surface quality.
How capable are slant-bed CNC lathes at machining complex curved surface parts?
Slant-bed CNC lathes, through advanced CNC systems and programming techniques, combined with high-precision motion control, possess a certain capability for machining complex curved surfaces. For complex curved parts of the rotational type, such as shaft parts with special contours, machining can be performed using functions such as profile turning, meeting the accuracy requirements of most complex curved parts.
Can slant-bed CNC lathes process materials with high hardness?
Yes. For materials with high hardness, such as hardened steel and cemented carbide, we will select appropriate cutting tool materials (such as ceramic tools and cubic boron nitride tools) and optimize processing parameters, such as adjusting cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, to achieve effective machining of high-hardness materials while ensuring tool life.
What are the advantages of slant-bed CNC lathe machining compared to flat-bed CNC lathe machining?
The inclined bed design of the slant-bed CNC lathe provides better chip evacuation performance, preventing chip accumulation from affecting machining; it also offers higher overall rigidity, resulting in less vibration during high-speed and heavy-duty cutting, and better machining stability and accuracy retention. It is more suitable for heavy cutting and machining complex parts, and can withstand greater cutting forces, while flat-bed CNC lathes are relatively weaker in terms of chip evacuation and rigidity.
