| It is one type of combining mechanical processors. It chiefly operates for cutting & grinding process. Machining center is an automated processor with auto-selecting cutting & grinding instruments controlled by CNC. This can be said as an advanced milling machine or a milling machine with CNC installed. The biggest difference between machining center and lathe is that machining center itself moves around the fixed intermediate for the process, whereas the lathe needs the intermediate to move for cutting & grinding and processing. |
