lathe tools

lathe tools refer to various tools and accessories used for turning, which are widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other industries. The following will introduce the types of lathe tools, functions and their applications in different industries.

Types of 1. lathe tools

Cutting tools: including turning tools, milling cutters, drills, inserts, etc. Turning tools are the most common cutting tools used in lathes, mainly used for turning outer circle, inner circle, end face and other shapes of parts. The milling cutter is suitable for milling plane, groove surface and other shapes, the drill bit is used for drilling, and the insert is used for boring.

Support tools: including clamps, convertible tops, tool holders, etc. Fixture is a device that fixes the workpiece on the lathe. Common ones are three-jaw chuck, four-jaw chuck, expansion sleeve chuck, etc. The convertible top is a device used to support long workpieces to avoid bending or deformation of the workpiece during turning. The tool holder is the mounting seat of the cutting tool, which can keep the tool at the right angle and position.

Measuring tools: including calipers, vernier calipers, measuring pins, etc. In the process of Lathe processing, the measuring tool is used to measure the accuracy of the size and shape of the workpiece to ensure that the turned parts meet the required dimensional tolerances and shape tolerances.

Accessory tools: including positioning pins, fixture positioning blocks, support blocks, etc. The accessory tool is used for positioning, fixing and supporting the workpiece to ensure the stable and accurate position of the workpiece during the turning process.

Functions of 2. lathe tools

Cutting function: The lathe tool cuts off the metal on the surface of the workpiece through the relative movement between the workpiece and the tool to achieve the required size and shape. Different cutting tools can achieve different cutting methods, such as turning tools can achieve plane turning, external turning, internal turning, etc.

Positioning function: The support and accessory tools of the lathe tool can ensure the accurate and stable positioning of the workpiece in the lathe, so that it can be cut according to the requirements.

Measurement function: The measuring tool in the lathe tool can measure the size and shape of the workpiece to ensure that the processed parts meet the requirements of dimensional tolerance and shape tolerance.

Special functions: Some special lathe tools, such as tapping knives, wire drawing knives, etc., can realize tapping and wire drawing on the lathe, expanding the processing range and application fields of the lathe.

Application of 3. lathe tools in different industries

Machinery manufacturing: Lathe tools are indispensable tools in the machinery manufacturing process, which are widely used in the processing and manufacturing of parts. In the machinery manufacturing industry, lathe tools can process various types of parts, such as shafts, sleeves, gears, racks, etc.

Automobile manufacturing industry: the application of lathe tools in automobile manufacturing industry is very important. In automobile production lines, lathe tools are used to process automobile parts, such as engine crankshafts, transmission shafts, shock absorbers, etc.

Aerospace industry: The aerospace industry has very high requirements on the size and shape of the workpiece, so lathe tools are widely used in this industry. Lathe tools are used to process various complex shapes of parts, such as engine blades, aircraft bolts, etc.

Electronics manufacturing: The shells, connectors and other parts of electronic products need to be precision machined, and lathe tools can meet this demand. In the electronics manufacturing industry, lathe tools are used to process the housings of electronic products, metal parts, etc.

In short, the lathe tool is one of the indispensable tools in various industries. They provide convenience and guarantee for the processing of workpieces through cutting, positioning, measurement and other functions, and promote the development of all walks of life.
