The first kinds of automatic lathes were mechanically automated ones, from the 1870s until the advent of NC and CNC in the 1950s and 1960s.
13.
The history of automatic lathes in industrial contexts began with screw machines, and that history can only be truly understood within the context of screw making in general.
14.
Thus a " plain old " 2-axis CNC lathe is not referred to as an " automatic lathe " ( even though it is, literally speaking, automatic ).

In industrial contexts during the Machine Age, the term " automatic lathe " referred to mechanical screw machines and chuckers ( discussed below ), of which a large variety of types, brands, and models were built.
17.
Because of the historical path of development of machine tool technology, the natural language terminology used to name automatic lathes, at least in English, is not hierarchical in quite the way that a manufacturing layperson might expect.

The 1921 edition of the ASME mechanical catalog and directory showed that J & L offered several models of Hartness flat turret lathe, an automatic chucking lathe, an automatic die, a screw-thread comparator, and the Fay automatic lathe.
19.
CNC offers many benefits, not least CAD / CAM integration, but the CNC itself usually does not give any inherent speed advantage within the context of an automatic lathe cycle in terms of speeds and feeds or tool-changing speed.
20.
However, within the machining subspecialty of Swiss-type CNC turning centers, the word " automatic " is often used freely for cam-op and CNC alike ( for example, DMG Mori and Tsugami call their Swiss-type CNCs " automatic lathes " ).
