According to processing accuracy, it can be divided into ordinary precision machine tools, precision machine tools and high-precision machine tools.
According to the degree of automation, it can be divided into manual operation machine tools, semi-automatic machine tools and automatic machine tools.
According to the automatic control methods of machine tools, it can be divided into copying machine tools, program-controlled machine tools, digitally controlled machine tools, adaptively controlled machine tools, machining centers and flexible manufacturing systems.
According to the applicable scope of machine tools, it can be divided into general machine tools, special machine tools and special machine tools.
Special machine tools are automatic or semi-automatic machine tools based on standard universal components and equipped with a small number of special components designed according to the specific shape of the workpiece or processing technology. They are called combined machine tools.
In order to process one or more parts, a series of machine tools are arranged according to the program, and automatic loading and unloading devices and automatic workpiece transfer devices are provided between the machine tools and the machine tools. This group of machines is called an automatic cutting line.
The flexible manufacturing system consists of a set of CNC machine tools and other automated processing equipment. It is controlled by an electronic computer and can automatically process workpieces with different processes, so it can be adapted to a variety of productions.
