Classification by Operation - This is the most common classification:
- CNC Lathe/Turning Machine: Used for turning workpieces that are symmetrical to rotation (e.g., shafts, sleeves, disks). The workpiece rotates and the cutting tool moves to cut off the material.
- CNC Drilling Machine: Used for drilling cylindrical holes in workpieces with high precision
- CNC Grinding Machine: Used for polishing the workpiece surface to a smooth, precise size.
- CNC Laser Cutting Machine: Uses a high-powered laser beam to cut materials.
- CNC Plasma Cutting Machine: Uses high-temperature plasma to cut conductive materials (e.g., metal).
- CNC Waterjet Cutting Machine: Uses high-pressure water jets. (May contain abrasives) when cutting materials.
- CNC EDM (Electrical Discharge Machine): Uses electrical discharge (sparks) to process conductive materials. Suitable for high-precision machining, such as molds.
