Yash Machine Tools offers various lathe machines including light duty lathe machine, medium duty lathe machine, heavy duty lathe machine, CNC lathes and tool room lathes etc.
2. Lathe Machine
Lathe is a machine tool used to carve axis symmetrical objects. Shaping hard objects like
metals, wood or glass is for what a lathe machine is generally employed in various
industries. However apart from shaping and cutting, lathe can also used for several other
tasks too which include functionalities like drilling, turning, knurling, grooving, threading
etc.
3. Types of Lathe Machines
There are different kinds of lathe machines that are sold but based are on their
function and technique used to make them .That enables output that is precise and
timely.
Turret lathes
Gang-tool lathe
Computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathes
Center Lathe
Multispindle Lathes
Toolroom lathes
4. Turret lathes
The turret lathe machines are available in both semi-automatic as well as fully automatic
models. The fully automatic are quite popular among the large-scale industrial
manufacturers who want quicker metal forming processes and need to minimize the
production costs at the manufacture units.
5. Gang-tool lathe
It has tools on a row set on a cross slide that has a long table that is flat characteristic of
milling machine. The tools are set and indexed for each cycle of cutting. It is similar to turret
lathe but is linear in terms of tool indexing instead of being rotary.
6. Computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathes
These are precise, accurate and are easily
set. They use carbide tooling common in
modern operations. The parts are first
designed using CAD (computer aided
design) and/or manually then fed into the
machine memory where it will continue
producing the specific parts till the design
is changed. The computer numerical
controlled (CNC) lathe machine is under
the watch of an operator periodically.
7. Center Lathe
Also known as bench lathe or engine lathe. They have two heads moving towards
the fixed work piece position and have holes at their edges.
8. Multispindle Lathes
These are very precise lathes that are
electronically controlled. Their operations
are carried out on an electronic spindle
that is on a screw lathe machine. Several
executions can be done by the spindle
and ensures high effectiveness and
efficiency toolroom lathe.
9. Toolroom lathes
They are used in toolroom work, a kind of centre lathe with the best features that
ensure effective machining to produce quality work output.
10. Conclusion
Different types of Lathes are used in different industries to perform machining that involves spinning a
metal block before deforming or cutting it. It shapes the work piece that can either be a metal or wood
depending on the lathe. Using adjustable metal rails the headstock and tailstock hold the material as it is
moved.
