All about CNC Lathe Programming You Want to Know

Modern CNC Lathe programme comes in a variety of configurations. If you are using a basic and simple CNC Lathe, then a normal setup of 2 axis will be appropriate. A simple and easy to use CNC Lathe uses a Z axis. The Z axis is equivalent to Spindle axis and the X axis. The X axis generally set in the right angles to the spindle.

Controller of the CNC Lathe Program

The CNC Lathe program will start on either diameter or radius mode at the time of set up. While the program will remain in diameter mode, the X axis will value specific diameters. In radius mode, the techies will specify a radius from the axis. One important point you must remember that in the diameter mode, the X axis values are exactly twice of the radius mode values. So, before using, you must be aware of the mode of lathe you are using.
