PRESENTATION ON LATHE MACHINE
PRINCIPLE OF LATHELathe is a machine, which is used to
remove metal from the workpiece to required shape and size.
COMPONENTS OF LATHE
TYPES OF LATHES• Speed Lathe :
It is the simplest type lathe. It is mainly used
for metal spinning, polishing etc.
• Bench Lathe :
It is small sized engine lathe mounted on
bench. It is used for turning small and light weight
workpiece.
• Tool Room Lathe :
It is used for production of small tools, gauges,
fixtures and accurate parts in tool room.
•Turret Lathe :
These lathes are used in mass production
and for heavy duty workpieces.
•Capsten Lathe :
These lathes are used in mass production
used for light duty workpieces.
•Special Purpose Lathe :
These lathes are modification of engine
lathes developed for machining special types of
workpices.
•Automatic Lathe
•Engine Lathe
•Tracer Lathe
•Computer Controlled lathe
•Swiss Type Automatic Lathe
•Duplicating Lathe
COMPUTER NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED LATHE Computer Numerical Controls (CNC)
Equipped with one or more turrets
Each turret is equipped with a variety of tools
Performs several operations on different surfaces of the
workpiece
TURRET LATHECapable of performing
multiple cutting operations on the same workpiece Turning Boring Drilling Thread cutting Facing
Turret lathes are very versatile
Types of turret lathes Ram-type: ram slides
in a separate base on the saddle
Saddle type: more heavily
constructed Used to machine
large workpeiceces

PARTS OF LATHE•Bed : Supports all major components
•Carriage: Slides along the ways and consists of the
cross-slide, tool post, apron
•Headstock : Holds the jaws for the work piece,
supplies power to the jaws and has various drive
speeds
•Tailstock : Supports the other end of the workpiece
•Feed Rod and Lead Screw : Feed rod is powered by
a set of gears from the headstock
LATHE BED
•Heavy, rugged casting•Made to support working parts of lathe•On top section are machined ways•Guide and align major parts of lathe
HEADSTOCKClamped on left-hand
end of bed
Headstock spindle
Hollow cylindrical
shaft supported by
bearings
Provides drive through
gears to work-holding
devices
CARRIAGE
Used to move
cutting tool along
lathe bed
Consists of three
main parts

Chucks :
• Three Jaw Chuck (Self Centering Chuck) :
This chuck is used to hold circular
workpiece and is available in sizes from
100mm to 600 mm.
Four Jaw Chuck (Independent Chuck) :
It is used to hold rectangular,
sqare and irregular shaped workpieces .
ACCESSORIES
Collet Chuck :
Pull poerating rod
Push poerating rod
It is ideal for holding tube
and thin walled workpieces.

LATHE OPERATIONS
BORING
Boring produces circular internal profiles in hollow workpieces Boring mills are used for large workpieces Holes can be bored up to 20M if needed See fig. 22.20 Machines are available with a variety of features
Horizontal boring machines Jig borers
TURNINGForces in turning
Cutting force: acts downward on the tool tipThrust force: acts in the longitudinal directionRadial force: acts in the radial direction
Roughing and Finishing CutsRough cut: high speed cut with little regard for
dimensional toleranceFinishing cut: lower feed rate and depth of cut
Tool Materials, Feeds, and Cutting SpeedsCutting Fluids
CONCEPT OF SPEED, FEED AND DEPTH OF CUT
•Cutting speed=Πdn mm/min
1000
•Feed :
• It is expressed in mm/rev
•Depth of cut :
t=D-d mm 2
