Tool Clamping The length of the tool shank extending from the tool holder should not exceed 1.5 times the height of the tool shank (except for boring, grooving, etc.). The tool shank axis should be perpendicular or parallel to the feed direction. Adjustment of Tool Tip Height: For turning end faces, conical surfaces, threads, forming…
The oil level in the headstock must not be below the oil mark. Otherwise, the oil pump may suck in air, or the gear mist may be insufficient, causing spindle vibrations, excessive heating of the friction clutch and rolling bearings, and other issues. According to the lathe manual, all lubrication system oiling points must be…
When working, you should wear a work cap (to secure hair), work clothes, and work shoes, but gloves are not allowed (due to the risk of entanglement). Your head must not be too close to the rotating workpiece while working to prevent chips from flying into the eyes. If debris is splashing, you must wear…
Before Starting Work Machine Check and Warm-up: Check whether all mechanisms of the lathe are in good condition and whether protective equipment is available. If normal, run the machine at low speed for 1-2 minutes to check if the operation is normal. This also allows the lubricating oil in the headstock to reach the…
The performance of a lathe includes: machining performance, operational performance, and parameter performance. Machining performance refers to cutting efficiency (whether high-speed cutting is possible to shorten machining time and improve cutting efficiency) and the range of parts that can be machined (whether it can carry out various turning operations, including turning metric threads, inch threads,…
Types of lathes other than ordinary lathes and their characteristics and uses Ordinary lathe is the most widely used lathe, but in order to adapt to the processing needs of different types of workpieces, and derived from a variety of specialized lathes. They have their own focus in structure, function and application scenarios. 1. Specialized…
Introduction to Main Lathe Components Feed Box: Uses its internal gear transmission mechanism and external operating handles to transmit the rotational motion of the main spindle to the lead screw or feed rod, providing them with various speeds. Change Gear Box: Transmits the rotational motion of the headstock spindle to the feed box. The gears…
Machine Tool Description 1.1 Main Applications:This series of lathes is suitable for various turning operations, such as turning inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, other rotary surfaces, and end faces. It can also cut various common threads — including metric, inch, module, and pitch threads — as well as perform drilling, reaming, tapping, and…
The CNC lathe consists of a spindle, slide, and tool post. The CNC system includes a display (CRT), a control panel, and a high-voltage control system. CNC lathes generally feature two-axis linkage: the Z-axis, which moves parallel to the spindle, and the X-axis, which moves perpendicular to the spindle in the horizontal plane. The latest…
The four principles of process sequence arrangement in mechanical manufacturing technology 1. Machining Reference Surfaces First, Then Other Surfaces Why it’s important: The reference surfaces serve as the foundation for aligning and positioning all other features of the part. By machining these first, you ensure that everything else is referenced to a stable, known location….
