How Lathe machining Works

The working principle of Lathe machining is the machine tool controlled by computer, through the motion of the cutting tool on the workpiece to realize the machining of the workpiece.

Lathe machining can also use different cutting tools, such as drill, milling cutter, turning tool, etc., to complete the machining task of different shapes and sizes.

CNC machine tools usually have three or more axes, each axis can move along a certain direction, such as x axis, y axis, z axis, etc. By controlling the movement of each axis, machining tools can make complex three-dimensional cuts on the workpiece.

Lathe machining processing steps:

1. Design workpiece: Use CAD software to design 3D models.

2. Programming: transform the designed workpiece model into G code program.

3. Loading materials: Place the materials to be processed on the CNC machine tool and clamp and fix them.

4. Running program: Input the written program, start the CNC machine, and drive the cutting tool to cut on the workpiece.

Advantages of Lathe machining

Cylindrical parts
CNC lathe machines also referred to as live tooling lathes, are perfect for creating any symmetrical cylindrical or spherical parts with high accuracy and excellent repeatability at a high speed.
Process range
Although typically used for specific shapes of parts, Lathe machining can still be used for various cutting, such as drilling, boring, threading, and knurling.
Accuracy
The machine can obey strict measurements and eliminate the waste of natural human errors by integrating CAD or CAM files into the process, which may help to improve the financial situation, productivity, etc.
Flexibility
Lathe machining centers have great flexibility for a variety of applications since they offer a range of dimensional capabilities. For example, our turning centers are equipped in 18 to 0.5 inches in diameter to meet nearly all needs of our customers.
Repeatability
CNC lathes provide excellent repeatability by producing product batches with unmatched accuracy, allowing your business to maximize output and reduce losses.

Materials for Lathe machining

We store a variety of metal and plastic materials that are suitable for various part applications and industries. Choose from a wide range of available materials for turned parts.

As machined
Without any surface treatment processing methods, the parts will leave visible tool marks and burrs, which can be completed quickly and cost-saving.
Bead Blasted
A surface treatment process to obtain a certain degree of cleanliness and different roughness on the surface of the workpiece. The surface after sandblasting is dull and matte.
Anodizing
Many colors（such as black, red, blue, etc.）are available. Divided into Type II (normal) and Type III (hard), Type III is usually thicker than Type II and more corrosion resistant.
Powder Coat
The powdered paint is sprayed onto the surface of the workpiece by electrostatic spraying to form a powdery coating, and then the powder layer is cured by heating and baking to level it into a uniform film layer. It is usually used for appearance parts, and a variety of colors is available.
Custom
Request an instant RFQ and we will offer you the appropriate surface finish for your project if you still do not see the finish you are looking for.

Applications of Lathe machining

Rapid Prototyping
Lathe machining is widely used as a means of rapid prototyping, given its short turnaround times and a variety of affordable and available materials.
Batch Production
A delicate finish, extensive material selection, and tight tolerances make CNC lathes turning an advantageous technology for mass-producing parts.
Rapid Tooling
Lathe machining can cut virtually any material with a high variety of fully dense, so it is ideal to fabricate metal tooling for injection molding, fixtures, stamping, blending, high-pressure die casting, blow molding, etc.
