What Are The Functions of CNC Lathe with Inlined Bed?

CNC lathe with inline bed has multiple powerful functions.

1、 Precision machining function

Processing of shaft components

It can perform high-precision machining on various shaft components. Through precise numerical control programming, shafts with different diameters, lengths, and precision requirements can be machined. For example, in automobile manufacturing, it is possible to accurately process the crankshaft and camshaft of an automobile engine. Its machining accuracy can reach the micrometer level, and it can easily handle shaft parts with diameter tolerances within ± 0.01mm, effectively ensuring the dimensional and shape accuracy of the parts.

Machining of rotating parts

For rotating parts such as cylindrical and conical workpieces, inclined bed CNC lathes can efficiently process them through turning technology. It is possible to precisely control the motion trajectory of the tool according to program settings, achieving precise cutting of the surface of the rotating body. For example, machining the outer ring of a high-precision cylindrical roller bearing can ensure that its cylindricity error is within a very small range, improving the rotational accuracy and service life of the bearing.

2、 Complex shape processing function

Thread processing

The inclined bed CNC lathe has powerful thread machining capabilities. Whether it is ordinary threads, trapezoidal threads, or pipe threads, precise machining can be achieved through CNC system programming. During the machining process, the lathe can accurately control the synchronous motion of the spindle and the tool, ensuring that the parameters such as thread pitch and tooth profile meet the design requirements. For example, in mechanical manufacturing, various threaded connectors used to connect components can be processed with high quality on this lathe.

Curve contour processing

With the interpolation function of the CNC system, it can process parts with complex curve contours. For example, rotating parts with circular arc transitions, parabolas, or other non-circular curve shapes can be processed. By using instructions such as linear interpolation and circular interpolation, the lathe can make the tool move along a pre-set complex trajectory to machine the workpiece into the desired shape. In the aerospace field, some components with special shapes, such as the root of engine blades and other rotating parts, can be processed using them.

3、 Automated processing function

Automatic tool changing function

Usually equipped with multi station knife towers, it can achieve automatic tool changing. When processing complex parts, lathes can quickly and accurately replace cutting tools according to different processing procedures. For example, when machining a part that requires multiple processes such as turning outer circles, inner holes, threads, etc., the turret can change different tools in sequence according to program instructions for machining, improving machining efficiency and reducing manual tool changing time and errors.

Batch production function

Once the programming is completed, the inclined bed CNC lathe can be mass-produced. For parts of the same specification, as long as the raw materials are sequentially placed on the lathe, the lathe can repeat the processing according to the preset program. In industrial production, such as metal casing processing for electronic products and batch manufacturing of hardware accessories, efficient and stable batch processing can be achieved to ensure consistent product quality.
