SELECTION GUIDE

Choose the Right CNC Machine

Start with the shape, size and machining requirement of the component. The machine type can then be narrowed according to how the workpiece is held, how many faces must be machined and the required production capability.

TURNING

CNC Lathes

For shafts, flanges, discs, cylindrical components and general CNC turning operations.

MILLING

Vertical & Horizontal Machining

For prismatic components, housings, plates and production parts requiring milling, drilling, tapping and precision hole machining.

Vertical Machining Centres → Horizontal Machining Centres →
COMPLEX MULTI-AXIS

Five-Axis & Turn-Milling

For complex components requiring fewer setups, multiple machining orientations or combined turning and milling operations.

Five-Axis Machining Centres → Turn-Milling Centres →
HIGH-SPEED SMALL PARTS

Drilling & Tapping Centres

For high-speed drilling, tapping and light milling of small and medium-size production components.

Explore Drilling & Tapping Centres → LARGE-PART MACHINING

Gantry Machining Centres

For large frames, structures, moulds and substantial components requiring large machining envelopes.

Explore Gantry Machining Centres → HEAVY BORING & MILLING

Boring & Milling Machines

For large housings, deep bores, heavy components and precision multi-face machining.

HOW TO SELECT

Key CNC Machine Selection Factors

Machine type is only the starting point. Final selection should be based on the complete machining requirement.

WORKPIECE Size, Shape & Weight

Confirm the largest component dimensions, weight, material and required machining envelope.

PROCESS Required Operations

Define turning, milling, drilling, tapping, boring and multi-axis operations before selecting the machine architecture.

SPINDLE Speed, Power & Torque

Match spindle performance to the material, tool diameter and required metal-removal rate.

PRODUCTION Cycle Time & Automation

Consider tool capacity, pallet systems, bar feeding, probing and other automation where production efficiency is important.

QUICK SELECTION

Start with the Machining Requirement

Mostly rotational components

Start with CNC Lathes.

General prismatic components

Start with Vertical Machining Centres.

Multi-face production machining

Consider Horizontal Machining Centres.

Complex geometry in fewer setups

Consider Five-Axis or Turn-Milling.

Small high-speed production parts

Consider Drilling & Tapping Centres.

Very large or heavy components

Compare Gantry and Boring & Milling Machines.
