How does the lathe machine work?

The working principle of the lathe machine is to drive the spindle to rotate through the spindle motor, the tool is fixed on the tool holder, and the feed box and feed handle are used to control the feed speed and direction of the tool to cut the workpiece. The lathe machine is mainly composed of a bed, a spindle box, a tool holder, a feed mechanism and other parts. When the lathe machine is working, the workpiece is fixed on the spindle by a fixture and rotates, and the tool is fixed on the tool holder, and the cutting process is achieved by the movement of the feed mechanism.

A lathe is a machine tool that performs cutting by rotating the workpiece. It is mainly used for machining shafts, discs, sleeves and other workpieces with rotating surfaces. The lathe machine can use a variety of tools on the workpiece for processing, such as turning tools, drills, reamer drills, reamer, taps, etc. Lathes are widely used in machinery manufacturing and repair factories, and are important equipment for parts with high machining accuracy requirements and fine surface roughness requirements.

In actual operation, the operating procedures of the lathe machine include steps such as preliminary preparation, formal processing and inspection. The operator needs to determine the materials such as blanks, tools and oilstones according to the processing technology, check the transmission device of the lathe and check whether there are any faults, determine the position of the turning tool and fix it in the correct position. During the processing, it is necessary to adjust the parallelism between the slide and the part to ensure the processing depth and finish. After the processing is completed, it is necessary to measure the size and surface quality of the workpiece, check whether the tool is damaged, and perform necessary maintenance.
