Turning Precision Into Perfection. This provides you with the optimal machining capability for long-term use and a sound investment.
In metalworking and woodworking, an automatic lathe is a lathe with automatic control of the cutting process. The earliest automatic lathes were developed in the 1870s, using mechanical control. Since the 1950s, with the advent of NC and CNC technology, the term "automatic lathe" is typically used to refer to mechanically controlled lathes, although some manufacturers (such as DMG Mori and Tsugami) refer to sliding head CNC lathes as "automatic" . CNC has not completely replaced mechanical automation lathes; many mechanical automatic lathes are no longer produced but are still in use.
Since its invention in the 1950s, the CNC lathe has secured a significant place in human history and machinery. The introduction of this tool has enabled us to produce various sizes of parts. With the advent of independent electric motors, lathes have become more advanced, offering higher reliability and power while occupying less space. As machines have become increasingly complex, G-code has replaced the punched tape system.
As a professional CNC turning machine manufacturer, MYLAS discusses the differences between them, while also exploring the exceptional capabilities of MYLAS's DY / DT Series turning center in comparison to another kind of turning center.
Last week, we talked about the bar feeder, which is mainly designed for continuous machining. This week, let's discuss the commonest part of CNC lathe, the chuck.
It’s one kind of machine for bar conveying. Mostly, the solid, hollow, or hexagonal bars are the main material of the bar feeder. Both CNC lathe and swiss type lathe can be used with the bar feeder.
The horizontal CNC lathe can be categorized into fixed head and swiss type lathe. The mill-turn CNC lathe enable customer to machining the Turn and Mill operation in one machine without secondary process, or even outsource to other job shops. The CNC turning with mill turn function can finish the workpiece in ONE SETUP.
