What equipment and processes are required for automatic lathe processing?

Automatic lathe processing occupies an important position in the field of hardware manufacturing, and it is mainly used to produce various types of hardware parts. The following are the main equipment and processes required for automatic lathe processing:

Main equipment for automatic lathe processing

Automatic lathes are mainly composed of the following components:

Spindle box: Also known as headboard box, it can transmit the rotating motion from the main motor to the spindle after shifting, so that it can obtain the required different speeds and steering.

Feed box: Also known as the tool box, it is equipped with a variable speed mechanism for feed movement. By adjusting the variable speed mechanism, the required feed amount or pitch can be obtained, and the movement can be transmitted to the tool holder for cutting.

Tool holder: There are two layers of skateboards (medium and small skateboards), a bed saddle, and a tool holder body, which are used to install the turning tool and carry the motor vehicle knife for longitudinal, lateral, or oblique movement.

Slide box: It is the control box for the feeding movement of the lathe, which can turn the rotational movement of the light bar and the lead screw into the linear movement of the tool holder.

Tail frame: installed on the bed guide rail, used to support longer workpieces, or install drills, reamers, etc. for hole processing.

Cooling equipment: The cutting fluid is pressurized by a cooling water pump and then sprayed into the cutting area to reduce the cutting temperature, wash away chips, and smooth the machined surface, thus improving the tool life and workpiece machining quality.

Second, automatic lathe processing technology

The process of automatic lathe machining mainly includes turning, drilling, tapping, milling, etc. In these processes, cutting tools such as turning tools, taps, drills, etc. are indispensable. These tools perform various cutting movements under the drive of the automatic lathe to complete the processing of the workpiece.

Automatic lathe processing requires a series of precision equipment and processes. These equipment and processes work together to enable automatic lathes to produce all kinds of hardware parts efficiently and accurately.
