The lathe type

Ordinary lathe
Wide processing objects, spindle speed and feed adjustment range, can process the internal and external surface of the workpiece, end face and internal and external threads. This kind of lathe is mainly operated manually by workers with low production efficiency and is suitable for single piece, small batch production and repair workshop.
Turret and rotary lathe
It has a turret tool holder or a return wheel tool holder that can hold more than one tool. It can be used by workers to complete various processes successively in one clamping process of workpiece. It is suitable for batch production.
Automatic lathe
According to certain procedures to automatically complete the multi-process processing of small and medium-sized workpiece, can automatically load and unload, repeat processing a batch of the same workpiece, suitable for a large number of, a large number of production.
Multi-tool semi-automatic lathe
There are single axis, multi - axis, horizontal and vertical. The uniaxial horizontal layout is similar to that of an ordinary lathe, but the two sets of tool holders are mounted on the front and back or up and down of the spindle, respectively, for the processing of disk, ring and shaft workpieces, the productivity of which is 3 ~ 5 times higher than that of an ordinary lathe.
Copying lathe
Can imitate the shape size of the template or sample, automatic completion of the workpiece processing cycle (see copying machine tool), suitable for small batch and batch production of workpiece with complex shape, the productivity is 10 ~ 15 times higher than the general lathe. There are multi - tool holder, multi - axis, chuck - type, vertical and other types.
Vertical lathe
The spindle is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the workpiece is clamped on the horizontal rotary table, and the tool holder moves on the beam or column. Suitable for machining larger, heavier, difficult to install in the general lathe workpiece, divided into two categories of single column and double column.
Relieving lathe
At the same time of turning, the tool holder periodically makes radial reciprocating movement, which is used for forklift milling cutter, hob and other forming tooth surface. A small grinding wheel driven by a separate motor, usually with a grinding attachment, is used to grind the tooth surface.
Specialized lathe
A lathe that processes a particular surface of a work piece, such as a crankshaft lathe, camshaft lathe, wheel lathe, axle lathe, roll lathe, and ingot lathe.
Combined lathe
It is mainly used for turning, but can also be boring, milling, drilling, inserting, grinding and other processing after adding some special parts and accessories, with the characteristics of "one machine and many functions", it is suitable for the repair work of engineering vehicles, ships or mobile repair stations.
Saddle lathe
Saddle lathe in the headbox at the left end of the bed is sunken, can accommodate large diameter parts. Lathe shape for both ends of the high, low in the middle, like a saddle, so called saddle lathe. Saddle lathe is suitable for processing large radial size, small axial size parts, suitable for turning the workpiece of the outer circle, inner hole, end face, groove and metric system, inch system, module, after the pitch thread, but also for drilling, boring, reaming and other processes, especially suitable for single, batch production enterprises. Saddle lathe can process larger diameter workpiece in saddle groove. The guide rail of the machine tool is hardened and refined to make it easy and reliable to operate. The lathe has the characteristics of high power, high speed, strong rigidity, high precision and low noise.
