Types and designs of modern lathes

Whether conventional lathe or CNC lathe - at Stenzel you will find machines in a wide variety of designs with individual advantages.

A CNC lathe or a CNC milling center enables precise turning and milling in a single operation. Thanks to computer-aided control, it offers maximum flexibility and accuracy when machining complex workpieces.

Vertical CNC lathes are space-saving and particularly suitable for smaller workpieces. Due to their vertical alignment, access to the workpiece is much easier.

A cycle lathe, on the other hand, is a cost-effective solution for standardized production tasks with high repeat accuracy - ideal for companies that want to produce precise but simple series.

Structure & mode of operation in metalworking

The basis of every lathe is the machine bed. On it is the headstock, which drives the main spindle. A tailstock supports the workpiece and enables longer parts to be machined. The feed system ensures the movement of the tool, while the tool system consisting of holders, turrets and slides ensures precise machining.

Before you buy a used lathe, you should check how many tool turrets you need to carry out operations efficiently without having to change tools.

Suitable materials for turning

Turning machines are versatile and suitable for a wide range of materials. They are most commonly used in metal processing - for machining steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper or brass.

However, plastics such as PVC, ABS, polyethylene or polypropylene can also be turned precisely with the right tool selection and cooling.

Use in industry & manufacturing

Turning machines are an integral part of modern manufacturing. They are used in almost all branches of industry:

• Automotive industry: Production of precise components for engines and gearboxes.
• Aerospace: Production of complex lightweight components with tight tolerances.
• Machine and tool construction: Production of precise molds and components.
• Medical technology: Production of implants and surgical instruments.
• Laboratory and analysis technology: Machining of small, complex precision parts.

Thanks to CNC control, modern lathes can perform several work steps in a single pass: Turning, drilling, milling - all in one machine. This saves time, reduces costs and increases precision.

Used lathes - economical and precise

Buying a used lathe is both economical and sustainable. You receive tested brand machines - e.g. from DMG, Doosan, Hermle or Gildemeister - at significantly more favorable conditions. Used models are available immediately and are usually already optimally trained, which makes it easier to start production.

• Cost savings compared to new machines
• Quick availability - no long delivery times
• Tested quality with immediate operational readiness
• Sustainability through reuse of existing machines
