Why Labs Use This Platform

• Integrated learning experience — Fault-setting electrical cabinet plus a real CNC lathe for hands-on training.
• Versatile training capabilities — Practical CNC programming, maintenance, and repair.
• Modular design — Flexible expansion and combination, with easier inspection and debugging.

This is a standard CNC machine tool, not a desktop mock-up. Students can disassemble, adjust, and operate authentic hardware: two-phase hybrid stepping motor, high-speed constant-torque spindle, ball screw, origin/limit switch, electronic handwheel, and cooling water pump.

What Students Work On

Key building blocks include the CNC system, spindle speed-control units, XZ motion-axis units, and switch input/output units. The lathe supports two-axis work from cylindrical and curved-neck turning through ball-head and thread cutting. Catalogue materials include steel, iron, copper, aluminum, plexiglass, plastic, and wax molds. The machine is described as compact, high-speed, and straightforward to operate.
