Different Types of Lathes
We offer lathes in a wide variety of designs, each with its own features and advantages.
A CNC lathe or a CNC machining center enables precise turning and milling in a single operation. With computer-assisted and programmable control, they offer high flexibility and accuracy when machining complex workpieces.
Vertical CNC lathes are space-saving and particularly suitable for smaller workpieces. Their vertical orientation also allows easier access to the workpiece.
A cycle lathe comes with pre-programmed machining routines, making it a particularly cost-efficient solution for standardized tasks requiring high precision and repeatability.
Structure of a Lathe
The base of a lathe is the machine bed, which holds the headstock that rotates the main spindle. A tailstock supports the workpiece and allows for machining longer parts. A feed system controls the movement of the tool relative to the workpiece and is driven by various motors. The tooling system includes tool holders, tool turrets, and tool slides that position and operate the cutting tools.
Before purchasing a used lathe, it's important to decide how many turrets are needed to complete the desired tasks without changing tools.
Which Materials Can Be Machined with a Lathe?
A lathe is extremely versatile. Depending on the spindle motor and cutting tool, a wide range of materials can be machined. Alongside selecting the right tool and cutting speed, an appropriate cooling system is also crucial for optimal results.
Lathes are commonly used for metals such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or brass. These materials can be turned, drilled, tapped, and milled.
Lathes are also used for plastics. Materials like PVC, ABS, polyethylene, or polypropylene can be successfully machined using the right tools and coolants.
It is generally important to note that each material has different requirements regarding tools, cutting speeds, and cooling systems. Therefore, setting the right parameters for each material is essential to achieve optimal results.
Where Lathes Are Used
Lathes are used across various industries, offering numerous advantages due to their versatility and precision.
They are often used in metalworking to produce complex shapes and precision components. This is especially relevant in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and toolmaking, where precision plays a critical role. Likewise, highly precise parts are needed in mechanical engineering, medical technology, and laboratory and analytical equipment manufacturing. These parts are made from metal or different plastic or composite materials, which offer advantages due to their lightness and durability.
Lathes ensure high precision, repeatability, and efficiency. Multiple machining steps can be completed on a single machine. Depending on the turret setup, the lathe can turn, drill, and mill. By changing tools, the machine can be adapted to different workpieces and materials. With an automatic tool changer, complex shapes and components can be manufactured in a single process without manual intervention.
Thanks to the ability to program CNC machines and integrate automation, manufacturing processes can be optimized, and production times reduced. At the same time, lathes enable the production of high-quality parts with tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes. Overall, they are indispensable tools that play a central role in various industries, contributing to higher product quality and manufacturing efficiency through their precision and performance.
