Our single-spindle CNC machine tools can realize automated processing through preset programs. They can also be equipped with gantries and loading and unloading automation solutions to reduce human intervention with the simplest architecture, ensuring the continuity and consistency of production.
Our single-spindle CNC lathes use electric drive instead of belt drive, which greatly increases the spindle speed and allows your CNC machine to perform a variety of machining tasks with higher precision.
We provide various types of single CNC lathes, including horizontal single-spindle CNC lathes, vertical single-spindle CNC lathes, and single-spindle turret CNC lathes. Whether it is a single process or a complex process, small batch production or large-scale processing, we always have a solution that suits your business.

Aerospace Industry
The five-axis single-spindle CNC lathe can achieve high-precision cutting of curved surfaces, such as turbine blades, engine housings, landing gear components, and other high-strength functional parts.
Automotive Manufacture
Equipped with a servo turret, the milling and turning composite single-spindle lathe can complete multiple processes such as turning, drilling, and tapping in one clamping, achieving precise error control. It is suitable for high-strength steel or aluminum alloy parts such as automobile engine cylinders, crankshafts, and gearbox gears.
Medical Instruments
Our single spindle CNC lathe uses electric spindle direct drive technology, with higher spindle speeds, can support micron-level holes and complex contour engraving, and can process various materials suitable for various medical devices and human implants (stainless steel, titanium alloy, zirconia ceramics, etc).
Precision Molds
Single-spindle CNC lathes can realize cavity and runner processing of industrial molds, such as injection molds and die-casting molds, with the help of a five-axis linkage. The use of liquid hydrostatic bearing spindles can achieve high-precision surface treatment.
Electronics
Single-spindle CNC lathes are particularly suitable for processing small to medium-sized electronic components, such as circuit boards, connector heat sinks, etc., and are widely used in various fields.
High Rigidity
The base, guide rails, and main structure of our single-spindle CNC lathes are made of cast iron, providing high rigidity that minimizes vibration and improves stability during the machining process.
Versatility
With ultra-high speed and torque, our single-spindle CNC lathes can process a variety of high-strength materials such as super alloys, titanium alloys, alloy steels, etc., suitable for most industrial fields.
Easy Maintenance
Compared to dual-spindle CNC lathes, single-spindle CNC lathes have fewer moving parts, which can greatly reduce mechanical wear. At the same time, programming single-spindle CNC lathes is also easier, and your operators can more easily find problems.
Plug and Play
The CNC system of our single-spindle CNC lathe has a user-friendly interactive interface, providing you with intuitive control. It is compatible with your existing CAD/CAM software and can be put into production quickly.
Vertical Single Spindle CNC Lathe
The vertical layout of the spindle makes the vertical single spindle CNC lathe more suitable for processing workpieces with large radial dimensions but relatively small axial dimensions, such as various types of discs, wheels, bushings, etc. It also makes clamping more convenient for the vertical single-spindle CNC lathe. The weight of the workpiece can make it fit more closely to the fixture, improving the stability and accuracy of the processing. At the same time, due to the increase in height and the reduction in width, the vertical single-spindle CNC lathe occupies a much smaller area.
Horizontal Single Spindle CNC Lathe
Horizontal single-spindle CNC lathes, with their horizontal spindle layout, offer better chip removal than vertical single-spindle CNC lathes, preventing secondary scratches caused by chip accumulation. This is crucial when machining brittle materials like cast iron.
Furthermore, horizontal single-spindle CNC lathes are more easily equipped with auxiliary machining features such as a rear-mounted tailstock thimble and automatic feeders, enabling a more automated production line.
Slant Bed Single Spindle CNC Lathe
The bed angle of the slanted bed single spindle CNC lathe is mainly in two ranges of 30° and 45°, which brings a revolutionary improvement in chip removal efficiency. This can significantly reduce downtime caused by manual chip cleaning. At the same time, due to the principle of heat rising during cutting, the heat generated by the cutting of the inclined single-spindle CNC lathe will not accumulate in the spindle area, thereby suppressing thermal deformation and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the processing.
Multi-Task Single Spindle CNC Lathe
We can also equip a power turret or more on your single spindle CNC lathe, with 8/10/12 tool stations available, which supports simultaneous completion of milling, drilling, tapping, and other processes. In addition, our single-spindle CNC lathes also support (X/Y/C) multi-axis collaborative processing, achieving arbitrary angle positioning, making it possible to process non-circular contours such as elliptical shafts and polygonal cams, greatly improving processing capabilities and efficiency.
- Is a single-spindle CNC lathe suitable for large-scale production?
Not recommended. If your production needs are particularly large, then a single-spindle CNC lathe is not an ideal choice. Although a single-spindle CNC lathe has better flexibility, its processing capacity is still inferior to that of a dual-spindle CNC lathe.
- What’s the advantage of a single-spindle CNC lathe over a dual-spindle CNC lathe?
For small and medium-sized batch processing, single-spindle CNC lathes are a more space-saving and cost-effective choice compared to dual-spindle lathes, and are suitable for small and medium-sized parts manufacturers.
- What are the limitations of a single-spindle CNC lathe?
Since a single-spindle CNC lathe may need to frequently switch settings when processing different types of parts, it has a certain learning cost. In addition, a single-spindle CNC lathe with a basic configuration is not suitable for processing overly complex parts.
- What series of single-spindle CNC lathes do you provide?
We stock CV Series, CK Series, VTL Series, SCVT Series, C Series, CL Series, CP Series, 40/50Q, 40/50L, etc.
- How long does a single-spindle CNC lathe last?
The service life of a single-spindle CNC lathe depends on many factors, such as the type of spindle, the intensity of use, and maintenance status. However, the average service life of our single-spindle CNC lathes is about 8,000 operating hours.
