Lathes - Basic Metalworking Equipment

Lathes are among the central tools in metalworking and are used in the manufacture of a wide range of cylindrical components such as screws, bolts, crankshafts, camshafts, gears, axles and spindles. Moreover, special extensions, e.g. for milling or slotting, enable a turning machine to produce more complex shapes with conical and spherical surfaces.

Machining by means of rotation

.

The operation of a lathe, also known in common parlance as a lathe, is based on a simple principle: The workpiece to be machined is clamped between a spindle and a tailstock and set in rapid rotation by an electric motor. A turning tool continuously cuts chips from the workpiece by moving back and forth on a tool slide in a transverse or longitudinal direction to the axis of rotation. The chipping process is controlled by a precisely adjusted guide.

Designs of lathes

.

A lathe consists of a frame on which the guide for the tool slide is mounted, the slide itself, and the drive and control system. The drive is composed of an electric motor, a gearbox, spindle and tailstock.

To enable automatic tool changing, changing systems are often used, for example turrets with different tools that are program-controlled for use. Depending on the design and degree of automation, a distinction is made between conventional, automated and CNC lathes. Due to their high flexibility, automated lathes are particularly widespread in the production of small batches, while CNC-controlled lathes can demonstrate their efficiency advantages primarily in large batches. A lathe for the complete machining of a workpiece is also referred to as a turning center.

Buy a used lathe

Whoever buys a lathe used can significantly relieve his budget. So that the used purchase does not entail incalculable follow-up costs, we ensure that you as the buyer can convince yourself of the perfect condition of the machine. Therefore, we offer you the opportunity for a joint inspection appointment to extensively examine the machine of your choice.

.

If possible, we always ensure that the machine is under power and ready for operation during the inspection. In this way, you can take a close look in particular at such important factors as the precision of spindle play, concentricity, riding skirt, tool guidance, etc. If available, we always have the test records of the used lathes handed over to us.

Additional services such as dismantling, loading and insured transport round off our comprehensive range of services - so that the purchase of your lathe is as simple and safe as possible for you.
