Lathe machine
2016-01-21
The mechanism of numerical control machine tools consists of two parts. Except the common parts, such as the host movement part,the feed movements part ( work table, tool rest ), the auxiliary body( hydraulic,cooling and lubrication apparatus and the strut part (lathe bed,column) and so on. It also includes some special parts ,like magazines and automatic tool changers.
Most of the time, several different cutting tools are used to produce a part. The tools must be replaced quickly for next machining operation. For the reason, the majority of CNC machine tools are equipped with automatic tool changers. They allow tool changing without the intervention of the operator. Typically, an automatic toll changer grips the tool in the spindle,pills it out and replaces it with another tool. On the most machines with automatic tool changers, the magazine can rotate in either direction,forward or reverse.
