What is Lathe machine?

hello friend i am utsav busa today i am back with anther amazing mechanical filed related post here in this post i am gone share to the knowledge about the lathe machine the lathe machine is the play important role in industry we all know either industry is big or small any type industry is need the lathe machine here i am share the basic knowledge about lathe machine so enjoy the the post and please if you liked the post and any doubt in the post so keep comment on us below.

1)A lathe is a machine that rotates a work piece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, and turning, with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.

2)The primary task of a lathe is to generate cylindrical work piece. The

process of machining a work piece to the required shape and size by

moving the cutting tool either parallel or perpendicular to the axis of

rotation of the work piece is know as turning. In this process, excess unwanted metal is removed. The machine tool useful in performing plain turning, taper turning, thread cutting, chamfering and knurling by adopting the above method is known as lathe.

The capacity of lathe is expressed in two dimensions. The maximum part diameter or the “Swing” and the maximum part length or the “Distance between the centers”.

Working Principle:

1)The lathe is a machine tool which holds the work piece between two

rigid and strong supports called centers or in a chuck or face plate

which revolves.

2)The cutting tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post which is

fed against the revolving work.

3)The normal cutting operations are performed with the cutting tool fed either parallel or at right angles to the axis of the work.

4)The cutting tool may also be fed at an angle relative to the axis of

work for machining tapers and angles.

Application:

1. The lathe machine is used in metal working, wood turning, metal

spinning, parts reclamation, thermal spraying and glass working.

2. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity.

3. Examples of various objects that are produced by lathe are candlestick holders, barrels, cue sticks, table legs, bowls, baseball bats, musical instruments, crankshafts and camshafts, etc.

4. If we have most suitably equipped metal lathe than it can be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices.

here i am sharing the the picture of the lathe machine with name of lathe machine parts so comment below if you need to know what are the working of this part thank you i hope you understand the post and you gain the knowledge about the lathe machine.
