What are the components and optional accessories of the lathe?
The main principle of lathe processing is to rotate the workpiece, and the cutter head performs cutting in a straight line or a curved line. The lathe is used to process the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, end surfaces, conical surfaces, forming surfaces, threads and other parts of the workpiece.
The main body of the lathe is mainly composed of bed guide rails, bedside box, tool holder, chuck, tailstock and other parts. In addition, it is composed of electrical devices, lubrication devices, and cooling systems. The CNC lathe has an automatic lubrication system and a CNC system.
When we choose a lathe, we choose the maximum swing diameter and processing diameter of the lathe according to the size of the parts, and choose the machine model that can work for you. Different types of lathes are equipped with chucks of different sizes, and tool holders are selected according to processing requirements, manual 4-station, electric tool holder, and row tool.
Optional accessories for manual lathes are generally tool holders, chucks, spindle apertures, steady rests, follower tool holders, quick-change tool holders, etc.
Optional accessories for CNC lathes are generally spindle bore, tool holder, manual chuck or hydraulic chuck, hydraulic tailstock, and different CNC systems such as Fanuc, Siemens, syntec, GSK, etc.
Users can choose the machines and optional configurations that work for them according to their own requirements.
