 CNC Lathe Introduction: A CNC lathe is a computer-controlled machine used to shape and cut materials with high precision. It automates traditional lathe operations, making it ideal for industrial manufacturing and precision engineering. What is a CNC Lathe? A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathe works by rotating the workpiece on a spindle while cutting tools remove material to create the desired shape. It’s controlled by a computer program (G-code) that directs the machine’s movements accurately. Main Components of a CNC Lathe: Spindle: Holds and rotates the workpiece. Chuck: Grips the material firmly. Tool Turret: Holds multiple cutting tools. Bed: Provides stability and support. Control Panel: Used for programming and operation. How It Works: The operator loads the design file (G-code). The CNC system positions the cutting tools. The spindle rotates the material while tools shape it. The finished product comes out with precise dimension...
