Computerized Numerical Control

There are many types of CNC lathe machines.  They all have different functionalities and operations.  A helix path is used to operate on a job in a CNC machine, while rotary cutters are used to operate on a CNC milling machine.  Machining in CNC processes requires special types of tools, which are able to perform the desired work on the workpiece.  The CNC lathe machine is an important tool, which comes before other machines for cutting metals.

CNC Lathe Machine Introduction

A CNC lathe machine is usually used to remove excess metal from a given workpiece and shape the part as desired.  In addition to turning and facing, a lathe machine uses a lathe machine to perform complex processes such as knurling, threading, metal cutting, knurling, threading, metal dpinning, woodturning and many more.  Is also used to process.

According to machine historians, manual lathes were first used by people in ancient Egypt and Greece.  European nations widely used two-person lathe machines.  First the wooden logs between the two trees were tied with a rope from a tree branch and the wood was wrapped around the logs and the logs were rotated between the trees.  The modern lathe machine developed with the industrial revolution and today that development has reached the CNC machines.

Parts of CNC Lathe Machine

1. Bed:
lathe bed serve as the base of whole machine where various components are mounted.  Typically heavy rigid, lathe beds are made of 9: 1 hardened cast iron (semi-steel) and steel scrap (Cast Iron / Semi-Steel and Steel Scrap).  This method helps the lathe machine bed to slide easily.  While single-bed lathe machines are quite popular.  Two-three pieces are fastened together with bolts to meet the desired length.  The bed machine has a high ability to absorb vibration during work.

2. Carriage:
Used for mounting and running cutting tools.  The carriage carries the tool horizontally and vertically on the bed during the process.

3. Main Spindle:
This is the main spindle of the machine.  The man spindle is driven by the headstock.

4. Chak:
Chuck is used to hold the workpiece (Job).  The chuck is attached to the spindle which rotates both the chuck and the workpiece.

5. CNC Lathe Machine Control Panel:
The machine is operated and controlled by keys on the CNC control panel.  Which instructs the machine to achieve the desired result.

6. Headstock:
holding device for other component of CNC like Gear Chain & Spindle.

7. Main Drive Motor:
The drive motor helps to rotate the chuck, thus the whole machine is ready for work.

8. Tailstock:
Tailstock is commonly used to support drilling operations and systems.

9. Tool Turret:
Tool Turret acts as a tool carrier for CNC lathe machine.  The size and shape of the tarot is determined by the number of tools that will be fitted to them.

CNC Lathe Machine Cutting Process

1. First Step:
By turning on the first over, the machine is thoroughly checked whether it is worth working or not.  Then work it out when I claim.  Its position may vary according to requirement.

2. Second Step:
We now set the spindle to the desired speed.  Thus rotate the chuck and workpiece.  Major attention needs to be paid to the speed of the spindle as any discrepancies can cause errors.  Is the workpiece mixing properly?  It is important to check.

3. Third step:
Now the cutting process is done on the job by giving the required feed by carriage to the cutting tool mounted on the tool turret.  It is important to pay special attention to the running speed of the tool.

4. Fourth Step:
In this way extra metal is cut on the workpiece and a new part is prepared.
