Compare the differences between regular lathes and heavy duty lathes

Lathes can be divided into lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, grinders, gear processing machines, thread processing machines, spline processing machines, milling machines, planers, grooving machines, broaching machines, special processing machines, sawing machines and wire engraving machines according to processing methods or processing objects. Each class is divided into several groups based on its structure or processing objects, and each group is divided into several types.

According to the size of the workpiece and Lathes can be divided into instrument lathes, small and medium-sized lathes, large lathes, heavy lathes and super-heavy lathes by weight; according to the processing accuracy, they can be divided into ordinary lathes, lathes and high-precision lathes;

The main difference between heavy-duty lathes and ordinary lathes is that heavy-duty lathes generally refer to lathes that weigh 10 tons or more and have a single weight between 100-300kN. CNC lathes are mechatronic products that integrate machinery, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, microelectronics and information technology. It is a working machine with high precision, efficiency, high automation and high flexibility in mechanical manufacturing equipment. It has a wide range of processing performance and can process straight barrels, inclined barrels, arcs and various threads. It has multiple compensation functions of linear interpolation and arc interpolation, and plays a good economic effect in the mass production of complex parts. A regular lathe is a horizontal lathe that can process various types of workpieces such as shafts, discs, rings, etc. It is often used to process the internal and external rotating surfaces, end faces and various internal and external threads of the workpiece. It can also be used with corresponding accessories for drilling, reaming, tapping and knurling. Ordinary lathes are the most widely used lathes, accounting for about 65% of the entire lathe category. Because its spindle is placed horizontally, it is called a horizontal lathe. A lathe is a type of lathe mainly used for turning rotating workpieces. Drills, reamers, taps, dies and knurling tools can also be used on lathes for corresponding processing.

Choose a lathe according to your own needs, do not choose blindly.
