1. Ordinary machine tools: including ordinary lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, milling machines, planing machines, etc.;
2, Precision machine tools: including grinding machines, gear processing machines, thread processing machines and other various precision machine tools;
3, High-precision machine tools: including coordinate boring machine, gear grinding machine, thread grinding machine, high-precision hobbing machine, high-precision scribe machine and other high-precision machine tools;
4. CNC machine tools: CNC machine tools are short for digital control machine tools;
5, According to the size of the workpiece and the weight of the machine can be divided into instrument machine tools, small and medium-sized machine tools, large machine tools, heavy-duty machine tools and super heavy-duty machine tools;
6, According to the processing accuracy can be divided into ordinary precision machine tools, precision machine tools and high-precision machine tools;
7, According to the degree of automation can be divided into manual operation of machine tools, semi-automatic machine tools and automatic machine tools;
8. According to the control mode of the machine tool, it can be divided into copying machine tool, program control machine tool, CNC machine tool, adaptive control machine tool, machining center and flexible manufacturing system;
9, According to processing methods or processing objects can be divided into lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, gear processing machines, thread processing machines, spline processing machines, milling machines, planers, grooving, broaching machines, special processing machines, sawing machines and engraving machines Wait. Each class is divided into several groups according to its structure or processing object, and each group is divided into several types;
10. According to the applicable scope of the machine tool, it can be divided into general purpose, specialization and special machine tools.
Special machine tools are based on standard common parts, with a small number of automatic or semi-automatic machine tools designed according to the specific shape of the workpiece or the processing process, called the combined machine tool.
For the processing of one or several parts, a series of machine tools are arranged according to the process, and an automatic loading and unloading device and an automatic workpiece transfer device between the machine tool and the machine tool are arranged, so that a group of machine tools composed of such a machine group is called an automatic cutting production line.
The flexible manufacturing system is composed of a set of digital control machine tools and other automated process equipment. It is controlled by electronic computer and can automatically process workpieces with different processes, which can adapt to multi-variety production.
