[Processing Technology Column] NC Turret Lathes, NC Vertical Lathes, NC Horizontal Lathes, etc.

Explain the characteristics and applications of NC turret lathes, NC horizontal lathes, and NC vertical lathes.

■NC Turret Lathe This refers to an NC lathe equipped with a rotating tool post called a turret. Various types of tools can be attached to the turret, allowing for tool changes as needed, enabling a variety of cutting processes, making it suitable for mass production of the same parts. ■NC Face Lathe This is a lathe specialized for face turning, used when machining large disc-shaped workpieces with a large outer diameter compared to their length. The NC face lathe is characterized by having a large faceplate, allowing for the cutting of large workpieces. ■NC Vertical Lathe While the carriage moves horizontally, the NC vertical lathe has a spindle oriented vertically, allowing the cutting tool to move from top to bottom for turning. Because the spindle is vertical, it can minimize spindle distortion, which is an advantage of the NC vertical lathe, enabling high-precision machining. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us. *As a reference, you can view the "Simple Materials: Handbook of Machining Technology from VA/VE to Machining Techniques & Production Case Studies" available for download in the PDF below.
