Classification and labeling machines

One of the signs of the classification of machines is the degree of their universality. It describes the variety of parts and operations for which suitable machine. The higher the diversity, the greater technological capabilities of the machine.

From this point of view, all machines are divided into 4 groups:

General purpose machines (broadly generic) - screw-cutting lathes, vertical and horizontal milling, vertical and radial drilling, cylindrical grinding etc.

General purpose machines with enhanced performance - a turret lathe, automatic lathes and semi-automatic, longitudinal - and vertical turning and milling, buscentre-grinding, etc. (less versatile, have a smaller range of rotation frequencies and feeds).

Machines for a specific purpose (special) - gear cutting, gear hobbing, turning, copying, etc. (for operations of the same name, a certain type of parts).

Special machine — to perform only one operation in a single technological process. Special machines are divided into two types: special and ordinary aggregate.

The most widely used aggregation for machine tools drilling and boring groups.
