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…
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) →…
Problem Analysis: Is the mechanical oil in the tank in compliance with the specifications stated in the machine’s user manual? Is the mechanical oil clean? Has the tank’s oil filter been cleaned regularly and the oil replaced as per the maintenance schedule in the user manual? Impurities or incorrect oil grade can cause the oil…
Introduction What is a Lathe Machine? A lathe machine is one of the oldest and most fundamental tools in the world of machining. It is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece around an axis to perform various operations such as cutting, drilling, sanding, knurling, turning, and deformation. With the help of different cutting tools,…
