PRINCIPLE OF LATHE
Lathe is a machine, which is used to remove
COMPONENTS OF LATHE
TYPES OF LATHES
Speed Lathe :
Turret Lathe : These lathes are used in mass production and for
Automatic Lathe Engine Lathe Tracer Lathe Computer Controlled lathe Swiss Type Automatic Lathe Duplicating Lathe
TURRET LATHE
Capable of performing multiple cutting operations on the same workpiece Turning Boring Drilling Thread cutting Facing Turret lathes are very versatile Types of turret lathes Ram-type: ram slides in a separate base on the saddle Saddle type: more heavily constructed Used to machine large workpeiceces
ENGINE LATHE
BENCH LATHE
AUTOMATIC LATHE
PARTS OF LATHE
Bed : Supports all major components
Carriage: Slides along the ways and consists of the cross-slide, tool post, apron
Headstock : Holds the jaws for the work piece, supplies power to
the jaws and has various drive speeds Tailstock : Supports the other end of the workpiece
LATHE BED
Heavy, rugged casting Made to support working parts of lathe On top section are machined ways Guide and align major parts of lathe
HEADSTOCK
Clamped on left-hand end
of bed
Headstock spindle Hollow cylindrical shaft
supported by bearings
Provides drive through
gears to work-holding
devices
CARRIAGE
Used to move cutting

Undercutting
Thread cutting Knurling
BORING
Boring produces circular internal profiles in hollow workpieces Boring mills are used for large workpieces Holes can be bored up to 20M if needed See fig. 22.20 Machines are available with a variety of features Horizontal boring machines Jig borers
TURNING
Forces in turning
Cutting force: acts downward on the tool tip Thrust force: acts in the longitudinal direction Radial force: acts in the radial direction
tolerance Finishing cut: lower feed rate and depth of cut Tool Materials, Feeds, and Cutting Speeds Cutting Fluids
