Q

1. What is a CNC lathe machine?

Do you know about CNC lathe machine?

CNC lathe machine, also known as CNC horizontal turning center, is a kind of metal processing machine.

CNC lathe machine are developed on the basis of manual lathes. Due to trend changes, manual lathes are gradually being replaced by CNC lathes.

CNC lathe machine, like CNC milling machines, are controlled by CNC controllers.

CNC is an acronym for computer numeric control, which refers to a machine operated by a computer system.

CNC lathe machine operate to precise design instructions to machine parts to precise specifications.

Usually one or two centers hold the workpiece, and at least one center can move horizontally to accommodate workpieces of different lengths.

Where the material or part is held in place and rotated by a spindle as the cutting tool working on the material is mounted and moves on each axis.

CNC lathe machine come in many forms and it is by far the most important machine in the field of metalworking

Q

2. What types of CNC lathe machine are there?

After decades of development, many types of CNC lathes have been derived. The prices of different types of CNC lathes vary greatly, and the actual application scenarios, functions, and the number of tools are very different.

According to the type of structure, it can be divided into the following types:

  • Flat bed CNC lathe machine
    Its machine tool frame is horizontal
  • Slant bed CNC lathe machine
    Its machine tool frame is horizontal but has a 30° or 45° inclination.
  • CNC vertical lathe
  • CNC horizontal lathe

According to the type of function, it can be divided into:

  • Row knife CNC lathe machine
    A CNC lathe with a tool that can be independently installed in the table
  • Turret CNC lathe machine
    CNC lathe with turret
  • Turning and milling CNC lathe machine
    CNC lathe with turning, milling and drilling functions

According to the number of axes can be divided into:

  • 2 axis CNC lathe machine
    This basic CNC lathe has two linear axes X, Z and can perform diameter/inner, basically cylindrical machining, as well as facing operations, or drilling and tapping in the center of the part. It is not capable of milling.
  • 3 axis CNC lathe machine
    Usually, the 3-axis CNC lathe adds the function of the C-axis on the basis of the 2-axis, which can position the parts and realize the processing of milling, turning, drilling, and tapping.
  • 4 axis CNC lathe machine
    A 4-axis machine has an added Y-axis so that off-center machining operations can be performed. The fourth axis works well for more irregular and complex lathework.
  • 5 axis CNC lathe machine
    In a 5-axis lathe, a turret is added to a 3-axis CNC lathe. Such a machine would have two axes at each upper and lower turret, plus a C axis on the rotating main shaft. This allows two tools to be used on the part at the same time, increasing machining speed.
  • 6 axis CNC lathe or more axis CNC lathe machine
    CNC lathes with more than five axes are highly sophisticated and complex machines that are often not needed for everyday manufacturing needs.
Q

3. How does a CNC lathe machine work?

CNC turning is a method of manufacturing that uses computer numerical control (CNC) technology.

CNC turning is used to produce parts by cutting or milling materials, such as metal or plastic.

It can be used to create components with complex shapes, such as gears and shafts, and it can also be used to shape the surface of a material, such as when creating a hole in metal.

CNC turning can be done on a lathe machine, which is known as CNC lathes.

A CNC lathe machine consists of a bed where the workpiece sits, and an axis around which this workpiece rotates while being worked by tools located at different points on the axis.

The toolpath for each operation is programmed into the machine using software called G-code—a type of programming language that tells the machine what operations to perform on each point in space over time according to defined parameters such as speed, feed rate, and depth.

Q

4. What is a CNC vertical lathe machine?

CNC vertical lathe is not a common machine, and its application range is relatively limited.

Vertical lathes have a vertical spindle and a circular table on which the workpiece is mounted.

Since the worktable is in a horizontal position, it is more convenient to align and clamp the workpiece.

Moreover, the gravity of the workpiece and the worktable is borne by the bed guide rail or the thrust bearing, and the main shaft is not easy to bend.

Therefore, the vertical lathe is suitable for processing larger disks and large and short sleeve parts.

Q

5. What is a horizontal CNC lathe machine?

CNC horizontal lathe machine is also called CNC horizontal turning center.

It is one of our most common CNC machines.

A horizontal lathe is a machine tool designed to cut different contours in a rotating steel or wood workpiece.

Its spindle is placed horizontally, so it is called a horizontal lathe.

It is often used to process internal and external rotary surfaces, end surfaces and various internal and external threads of workpieces. It can also be used for drilling, reaming, tapping and knurling with corresponding tools and accessories.

CNC horizontal lathes are controlled by CNC controllers, while ordinary horizontal lathes are manually controlled.

CNC horizontal lathes are suitable for turning various metals and woods.

When the workpiece to be processed is installed in the spindle chuck of the horizontal lathe, the spindle starts to rotate, and the cutter head will move to the side of the part to complete the turning process.

Q

6. What are the core components of CNC lathes?

A CNC lathe is not a simple machine, and many components are required to manufacture a qualified CNC lathe or turning center.

Let’s take a look at what are the core components of CNC lathes?

Lathe frame

best structural design

The frame is the foundation of the CNC lathe, and most of the core components of the CNC lathe need to be installed on it.

There are big differences between the different types of frames.

For example, the frame of a CNC vertical lathe is composed of a base and a column, which is somewhat similar to a vertical machining center, while the frame of a CNC horizontal lathe is usually integrally cast.

To ensure longevity, TAICNC manufactures machine beds using high quality Meehanite cast iron. These help to limit heat distortion and provides solid mechanical stability. This ensures that the parts machined are consistently accurate.

Spindle

Spindle

The spindle assembly is the most important part of the CNC lathe, and it is the heart of the CNC lathe. It is composed of the spindle box (cast), the spindle assembly, and the motor.

All processing tasks of CNC lathes are completed by the rotation of the spindle, so the quality of the spindle directly affects the processing quality of CNC lathes.

Because it does not require as high a speed as a CNC milling machine, the spindle of a CNC lathe is usually driven by a belt.

Guide rail and lead screw

Box rails

Guide rails and screw rods are the moving parts of CNC lathes.

Its quality directly affects the accuracy, rigidity and stability of the CNC lathe.

Usually, the guide rail of flat bed CNC lathe is box type, while the guide rail of inclined bed CNC lathe is linear guide (ball or roller).

The CK series CNC lathes we manufacture all use solid box-type guide rails, which have strong rigidity, while the SCK series all use roller linear guide rails, which have higher precision.

Tool changing device

knife tower

If you are shopping for a CNC lathe in China, you will find that there are many types of tool changers:

  • Hydraulic tool holder
  • Gang knife
  • Servo turret

Hydraulic tool holders are usually installed on flat bed CNC lathes, and this type of tool holder is economical.

The gang knife is usually installed in the gang knife CNC lathe. This kind of inclined bed CNC lathe is cheaper than the turret lathe.

The turret CNC lathe is the most expensive among the three. Of course, it also has the largest processing efficiency and the largest number of storage tools, and is necessary for processing relatively long shaft parts.

The tool changing device is an important part to improve the machining efficiency of CNC lathes.

Although it is not required, almost all customers will choose it.

Tailstock

Tailstock

Tailstocks are used to provide additional support at the other end of the assembly.

This is necessary when machining long and very long workpieces such as shafts.

There are two kinds of tailstocks: manual tailstock and automatic tailstock.

Whether it is a flat bed CNC lathe or an inclined bed CNC lathe, it can be equipped with a tailstock.

CNC controller

Optional:CNC controller

If the spindle is the heart of the CNC lathe, then the CNC controller is the brain of the CNC lathe.

It controls all movements of the CNC lathe.

Different brands of CNC controllers have a great influence on the accuracy of surface gloss.

At present, mainstream CNC controller manufacturers include Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Heidenhain, Rexroth, Xintek, GSK, etc.

TAICNC provides a variety of CNC controllers to choose from to meet your usage habits.

Chuck

Chuck

The chuck is a vise-like structure that holds the workpiece to be processed. It is attached to the spindle that spins the chuck and workpiece.

Chucks are usually hydraulic, which allows the chuck to maximize grip on the workpiece.

Hydraulic station

Hydraulic station

The chuck or tailstock of CNC lathes are usually hydraulic.

Therefore, the hydraulic station needs to provide hydraulic oil for these components.

Q

7. What is the price of CNC lathe machine?

CNC lathes are not cheap machines, but expensive equipment.

Therefore, the price of CNC lathes is a matter of concern to everyone.

There are many factors that affect the price of CNC lathes, as follows:

  • CNC lathe manufacturer
  • Country of manufacturer
  • CNC lathe type
  • CNC lathe size
  • Core components
  • CNC controller brand
  • Other options
  • Tariff

transportation cost

Each of these factors is closely related to the cost of CNC lathes.
