What is Machine Tool?
Machine tool refers to the machine for manufacturing, also known as working master machine or tool machine, which is commonly referred to as machine tool. It is generally divided into metal cutting machine tool, forging machine tool and woodworking machine tool, etc. In modern mechanical manufacturing, there are many ways to process mechanical parts, cutting, casting, forging, welding, stamping, extrusion, etc., but for those parts with higher accuracy requirements and finer surface roughness requirements, we need to use cutting method to finish machining on machine tools, dajinprecision.com is a professional machining service provider for various parts.

Machine Tool Structure
All kinds of machine tools are usually composed of the following basic parts: supporting parts, which are used to install and support other parts and workpieces, to bear their weight and cutting force, such as bed and column, etc.; speed changing mechanism, which is used to change the speed of main motion; feed mechanism, which is used to change the feed amount; spindle box, which is used to install the spindle of machine tool; tool holder, tool magazine, control and operation system, lubrication system and cooling system

The auxiliary device of machine tool includes the loading and unloading device of machine tool, manipulator, industrial robot and other additional devices of machine tool, as well as the accessories of machine tool such as chuck, chuck spring collet, vise, rotary table, and dividing head
