Introduction

• Lathe is one of the most important machine tools in the metal


working industry. A lathe operates on the principle of a rotating
work piece and a fixed cutting tool.
• The cutting tool is feed into the work piece, which rotates
about its own axis, causing the work piece to be formed to the
desired shape.
Lathe machine is also known as “the mother/father of the entire
tool family”.
HISTORY

• The lathe machine is one of the oldest and most important


machine tools. As early as 1569, wood lathes were in use in
France.
• The lathe machine was adapted to metal cutting in England
during the Industrial Revolution.
• Lathe machine also called “Engine Lathe” because the first
type of lathe was driven by a steam engine.
USES
Wood Lathing
Metal Lathing
Acrylic Lathing
Operations of Lathe Machine
Operations of Lathe Machine…
Facing: This operation is almost essential for all works. In this
operation, the work piece is held in the chuck and the facing
tool is fed from the center of the work piece towards the outer
surface or from the outer surface to the center, with the help of
a cross-slide.
Plane Turning: It is an operation of removing excess amount
of material from the surface the surface of the cylinder work
piece.
 Step Turning: It is an operation of producing various steps of
different diameters of in the work piece. This operation is
carried out in the similar way as plain turning.
Parts of the Lathe
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
 Providesdrive through gears to work-holding devices
Live center, faceplate, or chuck fitted to spindle nose to
hold and drive work
Driven by stepped pulley or transmission gears
Feed reverse lever
Reverses rotation of feed rod and lead screw
Headstock…
Quick-Change Gearbox
Contains number of different-size gears
Provides feed rod and lead-screw with various speeds for
turning and thread-cutting operations
Feed rod advances carriage when automatic feed lever
engaged
Lead screw advances the carriage for thread-cutting
operations when split-nut lever engaged
Quick-Change Gearbox
Carriage
Used to move cutting tool along lathe bed
Consists of three main parts
Saddle
 H-shaped casting mounted on top of lathe ways, provides
means of mounting cross-slide and apron
Cross-slide
Apron
Carriage…

Types of Lathes

Engine lathe
Not production lathe, found in school shops, tool rooms, and
job shops
Primarily for single piece or short runs
Manually operated
Special Types of Lathes
Turret lathe
Used when many duplicate parts required
Equipped with multisided tool post (turret) to which several
different cutting tools mounted
Employed in given sequence
Special Types of Lathes…
Single- and multiple-spindle automatic lathes
 Six or eight different operations may be performed on many
parts at the same time
 Will produce parts for as long as required
Tracer lathes
 Used where a few duplicate parts required
 Hydraulically operated cross-slide controlled by stylus
bearing against round or flat template
Conventional/programmable lathe
 Operated as standard lathe or programmable lathe to
automatically repeat machining operations
Conclusion

Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machining


technology is a mouthful, but it is also fascinating by using
computers to create metal parts and products for equipment
and machines.
 In more simple terms, it is high-tech machining technology.
