In this day and age of cnc lathes being used almost in every facet of component manufacturing, all manufacturing houses are looking for the latest and greatest in cnc lathe technology to enable lowered manufacturing costs. To cater to this need cnc machine tool manufacturers continue to strive to bring to the market the most ultra modern cnc lathes every year and market it with pride and joy. At the same time, machine tool manufacturers are very much aware of cost consciousness of machine tool buyers and hence try to keep a lid on the prices of these ultra modern cnc lathes.

So what do these ultra modern cnc lathes of today bring to the table? Well, to start off they bring in very high productivity levels as is the case with the ultra modern star cnc lathes. These machines move with lightning speed with extremely fast traverses. Other cnc lathe machine tools manufacturers are not far behind either. Super fast traverses coupled with accurate acceleration, deceleration and position control enable lowering of idle movement times that enhances productivity.

The ultra modern cnc lathes also feature rapid tool changing technology. This is very critical especially in high volume manufacturing. Additional tool holding stations, rapid tool station indexing, advanced tool holder designs that enable quick insert changes, etc all add to the productivity levels, thereby reducing the component manufacturing time and therefore lowered costs.

Not to mention the advanced add-ons that are available nowadays. For example attach a fast bar feeder or magazine loader, include a super fast moving parts catcher and a chip conveyor and these ultra modern cnc lathes can crank out parts at rates never possible just a few years ago; and what more they will thus enable lights out operations. With a highly skilled manufacturing engineer on staff that can tweak the set ups and program efficiently and designate proper tool and insert choices, lowered component costs are all but inevitable, making the initial capital investment costs quite justifiable.
