What is the concept of heavy lathe?

Heavy-duty lathes, machine tools with a weight of 10 to 30 tons are large-scale machine tools, 30-100 tons are heavy-duty machine tools, and more than 100 tons are super-heavy machine tools. Heavy-duty machine tools refer to metal cutting machine tools that have been included in the large-scale machine tool catalog.

Heavy-duty lathes generally refer to machine tools with a weight of 10 tons or more and a single machine weighing between 100 and 300 kN. CNC machine tools are mechatronics products that integrate multiple technologies such as machinery, electricity, hydraulics, pneumatics, microelectronics, and information. It is a working mother machine with the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, high automation and high flexibility in mechanical manufacturing equipment. It has a wide range of processing properties, and can process straight cylinders, oblique cylinders, arcs and various threads. It has various compensation functions of linear interpolation and circular interpolation, and has played a good economic effect in the mass production of complex parts.

Heavy-duty CNC lathes are divided into large CNC vertical lathes and large CNC horizontal lathes. The rotating workpiece is turned by a turning tool. Generally, it can automatically complete the processing of outer cylindrical surface, conical surface, spherical surface and thread, and can also process some complex The revolving surface, curved surface and so on. Large-scale CNC lathes are mainly used for the processing of large and extra-large parts. They are used for major industries such as defense and military industry, aerospace, shipbuilding, energy (thermal power, hydropower, nuclear power, wind power), transportation (railroad, automobile), metallurgy, and engineering machinery. Pillar industries and national key engineering project services.
