Machining vibration is a common problem that affects part quality, tool life, and machine performance. To effectively avoid and control it, a comprehensive approach is necessary. 1. Increase the Rigidity of the Machine and System Machine rigidity is key to resisting deformation and vibration. Increasing rigidity effectively suppresses vibrations caused by cutting forces. Bed and…
With the widespread adoption of CNC machines, many might wonder: will manual lathes (also known as conventional lathes) eventually be phased out? The answer is: as long as mechanical processing exists, manual lathes will never be completely eliminated. While CNC machines offer significant advantages in automation and efficiency, manual lathes, with their unique applications and…
