CNC Lathes are CNC machines specialized in rotating workpieces for machining. They achieve machining by rotating the workpiece and cutting it with a tool. Some of the features and application areas of CNC lathes are listed below: 

Rotary machining: CNC lathes cut the workpiece by rotating the workpiece and making the tool cut on the workpiece, which is usually used for manufacturing bearings, threads and other rotating parts. 

Application areas: CNC lathes are widely used in automobile manufacturing, aerospace, medical equipment manufacturing and precision instrument manufacturing. For example, in the medical device field, CNC lathes are used to manufacture metal parts for artificial joints. 

Case in point: an aerospace company uses CNC lathes to machine bearings in aircraft engines to ensure their accuracy and reliability to improve the performance and safety of the aircraft.
