Vertical Lathe

What are the differences between manual vertical lathe, CNC lathe and vertical lathe? The manual lathe is driven by gear and ordinary screw nut. Because of the gap between the each movement and the inaccurate manual operation, the repeatability accuracy is low. Manual measurement is necessary when the lathe is stopped, and the measurement error is large and the efficiency is low. Manual vertical lathe is suitable for small batch, high precision and flexible parts. CNC lathe is driven by...

Ordinary lathe machine is driven by gear and screw-nut. Due to the existence of the gap between the movement and inaccurate manual operation,ordinary lathe has lower accuracy. And it need to be stopped after manual measurement,so measurement error is large. In gereral,ordinary lathe machine is suitable for small batch, not high precision parts. CNC lathe machine is driven by stepper motor to drive ball screw.Because the ball screw has interference, transmission is without gaps, so the accuracy...

In today's fast-paced manufacturing landscape, boosting productivity is not just an option—it's a necessity. Enter the lathe tool setter, a game-changer in precision machining that automates the often tedious tasks of tool setup, calibration, and offset measurements. This nifty device features a probe that accurately measures the position of cutting tools in CNC lathes, effectively eliminating the need for manual measurements. The result? Reduced setup times and enhanced consistency and acc

The post highlights the evolution and capabilities of heavy-duty lathes developed by American manufacturers such as American Tool Works, Lodge and Shipley, Monarch, and R.K. LeBlond in the early 1950s, particularly focusing on their compatibility with carbide tools. By 1955, significant models like the Lodge and Shipley PowerTurn and Monarch Series 60 were introduced, specifically designed for production turning of tough steels in small quantities, catering to industries such as printing mach
