Classification Of Turning Lathes

According to their different uses and structures, lathes are mainly divided into horizontal lathes and floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathes, single axis automatic lathes, multi axis automatic and semi-automatic lathes, profile lathes, multi tool lathes, and various specialized lathes, such as camshaft lathes, crankshaft lathes, wheel lathes, and shovel toothed lathes. Among all lathes, horizontal lathes are the most widely used. The dimensional tolerance level of the horizontal lathe can reach IT8 to IT7, and the surface roughness Ra value can reach 1.6 μ m. Computer technology has been widely applied in the machine tool manufacturing industry, leading to the emergence of electromechanical integrated products such as CNC lathes and turning machining centers.
