A universal turning machine is a multifunctional machine tool that can complete various processing techniques such as turning, milling, drilling, and tapping.

Universal turning machine working principle:

Its working principle is to achieve machining by fixing the workpiece on the spindle and then cutting the workpiece with a tool. Universal turning machine usually consists of a spindle, feed system, tool post, worktable, bed, and other parts. The spindle can rotate, the feed system can control the feed speed and direction of the tool, the tool holder can move and rotate, the worktable can move up and down, left and right, front and back, etc., and the bed is the supporting structure of the machine tool. Through the cooperation of these parts, various complex processing tasks can be completed.

Fields of application of Universal turning machine:

Machinery manufacturing industry: It can be used to process various metal and non-metal materials, such as aluminum alloy, steel, copper, plastic, etc.

Aerospace industry: It can be used to process various aerospace parts, such as engine parts, hydraulic system parts, avionics equipment, etc.

Automobile manufacturing industry: It can be used to process various auto parts, such as engine parts, transmission parts, steering system parts, etc.

Electronics manufacturing industry: It can be used to process various electronic equipment parts, such as mobile phone casings, computer parts, semiconductor devices, etc.

Medical device manufacturing: It can be used to process various medical device parts, such as artificial joints, dental equipment, surgical instruments, etc.

Types of Universal turning machines:

Flat lathe: It is mainly used to process workpieces with flat, cylindrical, spherical and other shapes.

Vertical lathe: mainly used for processing workpieces with large diameter and short length, such as hubs and gears.

Slant bed lathe: mainly used for processing long, thin and thin-walled workpieces, such as shafts and threads.

CNC lathe: Using CNC system, it can realize high-precision and high-efficiency automatic processing.

Multi-axis lathe: It can process multiple axes at the same time to improve processing efficiency.

Precision lathe: High machining accuracy, suitable for machining high-precision workpieces, such as watch parts, optical instrument parts, etc.

Large lathe: suitable for processing large workpieces, such as ships, wind turbines, etc.

High-speed lathe: with high spindle speed, it is suitable for processing high-speed rotating workpieces, such as bearings, motor rotors, etc.
