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….
On a lathe machine, the terms cutting depth (ap), S, and F are the three main cutting parameters you must know. 1. Depth of Cut (ap) Meaning: How deep the tool cuts into the workpiece in one pass. Unit: millimeters (mm). Typical values: Roughing (removing material fast) → 2–5 mm Finishing (for smooth surface) →…
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…
