HOW THE CNC LATHE MACHINE WORKS:

Just as with all kinds of machinery, lathe machines are available in different models and varieties that perform different functions. Lathe machines may look different, but they all consist of basic components that include a bed, carriage, chuck, CNC Control Panel, a spindle and more. Each of these components play in important role in the overall functioning of the machine.

The following four steps explain how most CNC lathe machines work:

1. Once a technician has checked that the machine is working perfectly and that there are no faults, a workpiece needs to be attached to the chuck. The position of the workpiece can differ as it depends of the requirement of the part that will be manufactured.
2. Next, the speed of the spindle needs to be adjusted to rotate both the chuck and the workpiece. Close attention needs to be paid to the speed of the spindle, as this can cause cutting errors and will result in a faulty end result.
3. The third step is to locate the cutting tools at the desired feed. This is done by moving the tool turret and carriage. Pay attention to the speed of the feeding process.
4. Lastly, all excess metal needs to be removed. This is done by moving the carriage to reach the final product from the machine.

With CNC lathe and turning, minimal human intervention is required. The main human operation that needs to be performed with a CNC machine is programming the necessary commands into the machine.

Because the machine follows a pre-programmed computer-based design, it is able to achieve a precise turn and exact tolerances, which ultimately results in a flawless end product of superior quality.
