    Metal CNC Lathe

    DMG MORI NEF 400 CNC Lathe

    During the industrialisation turning (especially that of metal) was very important for e.g. the production of the steam engine and its associated components. Since that time, mechanical engineers are the most important employees for machine construction companies. CNC lathe machines are currently the most developed technology, originating from the turning lathes.

    A CNC lathe differs from the conventional, manually operated lathe, mainly because of its cover and its programmable controls. At its core, all the CNC lathe parts are available and a frame holds together the whole structure. It has to be stable enough to be able to carry the heavy weight of the components - as well as the CNC lathe accessories - and control the vibrations. The materials used are either cast metal or welded pieces. Depending on the size of the lathe, an additional cement foundation could be necessary. The lathe’s bed is what hosts all of the moveable components of the lathe. It is either made out of cast metal or a metal block. The feed is electrically, mechanically or hydraulically operated and it moves the workpiece carriage, which is secured by clamps. A bezel is used to ensure that very long workpieces are stable. The headstock and tailstock are used to clamp in the workpiece. The structure of a CNC lathe machine is more advanced, with a tool carriage and automatic steering. This means that the turning process is controlled through a programme. CNC lathe programming can either be determined by the machine itself, or written externally and transferred to the lathe through an interface.
