Product Description
The conventional lathe is the most fundamental and widely used manual horizontal lathe, serving as the most common machine tool in mechanical processing workshops. Its operating principle involves clamping the workpiece onto the spindle for high-speed rotation (the primary motion), while the cutting tool moves linearly along the tool holder (the feed motion). By removing metal, the blank is machined into the required dimensions and shape.
Specifically designed for machining cylindrical, shaft-type, and disc-type components, such as:
- Shafts, bolts, nuts, sleeves
- Flanges, disc-type components
- Inner/outer cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, threads, grooves
Primary Structure
Spindle Housing: Drives workpiece rotation and adjusts rotational speed
Feed Gearbox: Controls tool feed rate
Tool Holder: Clamps turning tools and enables manual cutting movement
Tailstock: Supports long shafts and accommodates drill bits for boring operations
Bed: Supports all components and ensures precision
Product Features
Primarily Manual Control
Rotational speed, feed rate, and dimensions are adjusted manually via handwheels and scale readings-no programming required, relying on operator expertise.
Wide Machining Range
Capable of turning external surfaces, internal bores, end faces, steps, grooves, tapers, and threads-covering nearly all rotary components.
Exceptional Versatility
Processes materials including steel, iron, aluminum, and copper; handles small parts, long shafts, and disc-shaped components.
Simple Equipment, Easy Maintenance
Mature design with low failure rate. Repairs are straightforward, and spare parts are affordable.
Flexible, Ideal for Small-Batch Production
No reprogramming needed for product changes. Start production immediately after setup. Especially suitable for repair, prototyping, small batches, and non-standard parts.
High Skill Requirements for Operators
Dimensional accuracy and surface finish rely entirely on tactile feel and experience. Skilled operators can achieve very high precision.
Applicable Scenarios
Our conventional lathes, characterized by flexibility, affordability, and versatility, are widely suited for the following scenarios:
Machine shops
Processing single-piece and small-batch rotary parts, customizing non-standard components, and performing part repairs.
Hardware factories
Manufacturing hardware accessories such as bolts, nuts, sleeves, and flanges.
Vocational Schools or Training Institutions
Practical training for mechanical engineering programs, developing students' lathe operation and part machining skills, and supporting lathe operator certification training.
Small-scale Workshops
Suitable for scenarios with limited budgets, diverse machining needs, and no requirement for mass production, balancing practicality and cost-effectiveness.
Product Assurance and Service
We consistently adhere to the principle of "Quality First, Service Foremost," providing comprehensive product assurance:
Quality Assurance: All components undergo rigorous inspection. Fully assembled machines undergo no-load and load testing to ensure stable operation and precision-compliant machining.
After-Sales Support: Comprehensive maintenance services provided, including professional installation guidance, commissioning, training, operational troubleshooting, and prompt equipment fault resolution.
Spare Parts Supply: Long-term availability of wear-and-tear components with transparent pricing and timely delivery to ensure sustained, reliable equipment performance.
