What is a lathe machine
Guangzhou South CNC Machine Tools company is a large private enterprise which produces series lathe machine professionally. We have strong technical team from the state-owned large-scale machine tool production enterprises and our flexible management mechanism provides them space to give fully to play talents. Mean while we have a number of new large-scale processing equipment, such as CNC grinding machines center, grinders with CNC guide rail. Imported 5-axis CNC vertical and horizontal machining center, which was from Spain and gear noise detection equipment etc. Through more than years of development, the company can make more CNC lathe machine, manual lathe machine and so on and sells about 10000 sets per year. The company owns gear factory, machining factory, assembly factory and CNC machine tool plant, also the heat treatment plant.
Several years ago, lathe machine is mostly for turning, drilling, and threading, and no other functions, even if no-central hole drilling and threading, but with more and more technology development and machining requirement.
We design the machine with simple living tools for hexagon milling and no-central hole drilling and threading. Based on this machine designing, we created another idea which is based on the simple living tools with Y-axis.
This kind of simple living tools can have functions including turning, drilling and side milling , side drilling and so on. It becomes very suitable for more and more customers , and help them save the cost and make more profit.
A lathe machine tools consists of four main components: the bed, spindle, turret, and tailstock. Simply put, the spindle fixes the material and rotates it. The turret connecting the cutting tools moves to form the parts to be processed. The tailstock supports long workpieces. Finally, the bed is the base for installing three platforms.
In the case of a CNC lathe, the basic configuration is the same, including the CNC equipment and operation screen. CNC equipment is installed on the turret and tailstock, which controls the movement of various components and the accuracy of machining. The operation screen provides an interface for controlling the lathe, and the operator controls the cutting program by providing corresponding instructions.
lathe machine tools is a tool which consists of parts used to process and manufacture parts by means of cutting and other deformation methods. It can realize the automatic processing of various processes, greatly reduce the production time and labor cost of processing parts, and achieve high accuracy and safely. This type of machine tool has a high degree of automation, diversified functions and powerful processing capacity, and can provide effective support for efficient and high-precision processing in various fields.

lathe machine tools–A Guide to Frequently Asked Questions
1.What is a lathe machine?
A lathe machine is a machine tool used for shaping metal, wood, or other materials by rotating a workpiece on its axis against a cutting tool. It is used to create cylindrical parts, as well as other shapes, by cutting, drilling, sanding, or knurling the workpiece.
2.How is the feed rate controlled in a lathe machine?
The feed rate in a lathe machine is typically controlled by a feed rate dial or lever. This allows the operator to adjust the speed at which the cutting tool moves along the workpiece. The feed rate can also be adjusted by changing the spindle speed.
3.How do you measure and set the cutting speed on a lathe machine tools?
The cutting speed on a lathe machine tools is typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). The cutting speed is determined by the material being cut, the size and shape of the cutting tool, and the desired finish. To set the cutting speed, the operator must adjust the spindle speed of the lathe. This is typically done by adjusting the speed control knob on the lathe.
4.What are the common materials that can be machined using a lathe?
Common materials that can be machined using a lathe include: aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, steel, stainless steel, titanium, plastic, wood, and composites.
5.What are the primary operations that can be performed on a lathe?
1. Turning: This is the most common operation performed on a lathe. It involves rotating a workpiece against a cutting tool to create a cylindrical shape.
2. Facing: This operation is used to create a flat surface on the end of a workpiece.
3. Drilling: This operation is used to create a hole in the workpiece.
4. Boring: This operation is used to enlarge an existing hole in the workpiece.
5. Threading: This operation is used to create internal or external threads on the workpiece.
6. Knurling: This operation is used to create a pattern of ridges on the workpiece.
7. Parting: This operation is used to separate a workpiece into two parts.
6.What are the advantages of using a CNC lathe machine?
1. Increased Accuracy: CNC lathes are capable of producing parts with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. This is due to the fact that the machine is programmed with precise instructions and is able to repeat the same process over and over again.
2. Increased Productivity: CNC lathes are able to produce parts faster than manual lathes, allowing for increased production and shorter lead times.
3. Reduced Labor Costs: CNC lathes require fewer operators than manual lathes, resulting in lower labor costs.
4. Reduced Waste: CNC lathes are able to produce parts with minimal waste, resulting in cost savings.
5. Increased Safety: CNC lathes are equipped with safety features that reduce the risk of injury to operators.
7.How is the cutting tool secured in a lathe machine?
The cutting tool is typically secured in a lathe machine by a tool holder, which is clamped into the tool post. The tool holder is designed to hold the cutting tool securely in place while the lathe is in operation.
8.What are the main components of a lathe machine?
1. Bed: The bed is the main structural component of the lathe and provides a stable base for all other components.
2. Headstock: The headstock houses the spindle, which is the rotating shaft that holds the cutting tool.
3. Tailstock: The tailstock is a movable support that holds the workpiece in place while it is being machined.
4. Carriage: The carriage is a movable platform that holds the cutting tool and moves it along the length of the workpiece.
5. Leadscrew: The leadscrew is a threaded rod that is used to move the carriage along the bed.
6. Feed Rod: The feed rod is used to move the cutting tool in and out of the workpiece.
7. Tool Post: The tool post is a platform that holds the cutting tool in place.
8. Chuck: The chuck is a device that holds the workpiece in place while it is being machined.
