Lathe With Saddle Type
Lathe with saddle type is a comprehensive machine tool with features such as high accuracy, efficiency, high rigidity and high reliability. It is widely used in automobile, locomotive, agricultural machinery, construction machinery and chemical industry, etc. The machines of this type are easy to operate and widely used in all kinds of industrial processing and research.
The structure of the lathe with saddle type is composed of a base, headstock, tailstock, work spindle, dividing head, tool holder, feed mechanism and hydraulic system, etc. The most commonly used are the four-axis horizontal type, the five-axis vertical type and the three-axis vertical slide type. The main transmission components are worm shafts, threaded rods, and belt drives.
The working table of a lathe with saddle type has two pairs of linear guide rails and bearings mounted in slots on both sides of the bed, which provide accuracy and stability, and the steady rest is usually mounted at the headstock of the machine. The chute of the spindle is typically open, and the movement of the spindle can be controlled by the stepping motor.
The work spindle of the lathe with saddle type is composed of a spindle bearing, a bearing base, a motor and a clutch. The spindle is driven by the motor and has high output power, high accuracy and stability. The feed mechanism is composed of a feed dial, a feed lead screw and a feed consisting of a hand wheel, a wheel and a feed wrench, which can be used to feed the table and spindle in many directions.
The tool holder of the lathe with saddle type is a part of the machine, which is used to hold the tool during cutting. It consists of two parts, the turret and the tool post. The turret is a rotating part and can contain a number of tools in a variety of shapes and sizes. It is usually mounted at the left side of the machine and is powered by an electric motor. The tool holder can be adjusted to fit different tools and parts.
The cutting tools of the lathe with saddle type are used for cutting, drilling, reaming, grinding and so on. The cutting tools are usually made of tungsten steel and can be adjusted according to the requirements of the cutting process. The cutting tools should be of high quality and well-matched to the material being machined.
The measuring system of the lathe with saddle type is composed of various sensors, including displacement sensors and encoders, which are wired to the controller. They measure the position of the tool and the feed motion, accurately. The accuracy of the measuring system depends on the quality of the sensors and the settings of the controller.
The hydraulic system of a lathe with saddle type primarily provides power to the components which require adjusting, allowing for quick and precise adjustments. The system consists of a pump, a control unit, a relief valve, a vent valve and a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor is used to drive the drive unit of the machine.
Lathe with saddle type are reliable and efficient machine tools which are suitable for machining all kinds of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine is also able to cope with complicated machining operations, such as contouring, deburring, and thread cutting. The machines are easy to operate and maintain, and they offer high levels of productivity and accuracy.
