Comprehensive Lathe & Drilling Machine Technology
Lathe and drilling machines represent the foundational metalworking equipment, enabling cylindrical turning operations, internal boring, precise hole drilling, and thread generation with exceptional accuracy. Conventional lathes provide manual control and versatility for job shop operations requiring operator skill and adaptation to varying part designs. CNC turning centers automate these operations, enabling consistent reproduction of complex profiles, automatic tool changes, and rapid throughput for production environments. Drilling machines range from simple vertical spindles to sophisticated radial systems accommodating large irregular workpieces with precision positioning.
Modern spindle technology delivers precise rotational speeds and exceptional runout accuracy (typically 0.005mm TIR), enabling fine surface finishes and accurate dimensional results. Precision ground slideways with automatic lubrication systems maintain tight tolerances over extended service life. Variable speed control enables optimization of cutting speeds for different materials and operations. Integrated coolant systems provide efficient chip evacuation, extended tool life, and superior surface finish. These features combine to deliver precision and reliability in machine tool performance.
Threading operations, whether by single-point turning or multi-point taps, require precise control of spindle speed, feed rate, and positioning. Our machines provide the accuracy necessary for producing metric, inch, and specialty thread pitches with proper helix angles and thread forms. Taper turning attachments enable production of conical surfaces for precise fits and functional requirements. Turret tool posts and quick-change holders minimize setup time between operations, improving productivity and reducing labor costs.
