What Are Lathe Faceplates?

The control panel of CNC machine tools is an important component of CNC machine tools. It is a tool for operators to interact with CNC machine tools (systems). It mainly consists of display devices, NC keyboards, MCPs, status lights, and handheld units. There are many types of CNC lathes and types of CNC systems, and the operation panels designed by various manufacturers are not the same, but the basic functions and use methods of various knobs, buttons, and keyboards in the operation panel are basically the same. The term "translation of operation keys" uses the FANUC system and the Guangshu system as examples to briefly introduce the basic functions and use methods of the keys on the operation panel of CNC machine tools.
