1. According to the degree of performance, machine tools can be divided into:
① General machine tools, such as cylindrical grinders, horizontal lathes and radial drilling machines, etc. These lathes have a wide range of processes and can machine various types of parts in different processes.
② Special machine tools such as screw milling machines and shovel tooth lathes have a narrow processing technology range. Generally speaking, they can only specifically design and manufacture certain parts or processes.
③Special machine tools, such as drilling and boring combined machine tools, have a narrow process range. It is usually the design and manufacture of a specific part or a specific process, such as mass-produced car model parts and components.
2. According to the working accuracy, machine tools can be divided into ordinary machine tools, precision machine tools and high-precision machine tools.
① Ordinary milling machines, boring machines, drilling machines, boring machines, etc. are all ordinary machine tools.
② Various other precision lathes such as threading machine tools, gear processing machine tools, grinders, etc. are precision lathes.
③ High-precision machine tools: including coordinate boring machines, gear grinders, high-precision gear hobbing machines and other high-precision machine tools.
