Why is the instrument lathe called an instrument?
Hello, dear. Instrument lathe is a kind of high-precision CNC lathe, which is mainly used to process various precision shaft parts. Its machining accuracy and surface quality are higher than those of ordinary machine tools and lathes. Instrument lathe is called "instrument" because it was originally mainly used to process precise and complicated instrument parts such as automobile instruments and instrument housings.

Instrument lathes require very high machining accuracy, surface finish and positioning accuracy, and need high-precision control system, tool rest, spindle box and other key components, as well as high-precision tools and machining technology, so their manufacturing costs are also high, and they are generally only suitable for high-precision, high-performance and small-batch production and processing. It is an indispensable precision machining equipment in various fields such as scientific and technological manufacturing, aerospace instruments, optical instruments and electronic instruments.
