What are the types of lathes
Turret lathe and rotary lathe: with a knife can be equipped with more turret turret or back to the knife, can be a workpiece in the fixture by the workers in turn use a different tool to complete a variety of processes for mass production
General lathe: wide processing object, spindle speed and feed the adjustment range is large, can process the workpiece inside and outside the surface, end and internal and external thread. This lathe is mainly hand-operated by the workers, low production efficiency, suitable for single, small batch production and repair shop.
semi-automatic lathes, profiled lathes and multi-knife lathe and a variety of specialized Lathes such as camshaft lathes, crankshaft lathes, wheel lathes, shovel lathes. In all lathes, horizontal lathes are the most widely used. Horizontal lathe processing size tolerance level up to IT8 ~ IT7, surface roughness Ra value of up to 1.6μm. In recent years, computer technology has been widely used in the machine tool manufacturing industry, followed by the emergence of CNC lathes, turning machining centers and other mechanical and electrical integration products.
According to the use and structure of the different lathes are divided into horizontal lathes and floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathe, single-axis automatic lathes, multi-axis automatic
