STANDARD ETA-500x1500 Flat Bed CNC Lathe - Direct drive spindle

Description

A flat bed CNC lathe is a type of computer numerical control (CNC) lathe that is characterized by its flat bed design. The bed of the machine is a large, flat surface that supports the workpiece and the cutting tool. The workpiece is typically mounted on a chuck or a faceplate that is attached to the spindle, which rotates the workpiece at high speeds. The cutting tool, which is typically a single-point cutting tool, is mounted on a tool post that is attached to the machine's cross slide. The cross slide moves the cutting tool across the workpiece, cutting away material to create the desired shape. The machine is controlled by a computer program that dictates the movement of the cutting tool and the rotation of the workpiece, allowing for precise and repeatable cuts.

Machine Configuration:

• Flat Bed design with direct drive headstock and absolute positioning.
• GSK980TDi CNC Control (Optional: FANUC or Siemens)

How to use a flat bed CNC lathe

Using a flat bed CNC lathe typically involves the following steps:

1. Prepare the machine: Make sure the machine is properly lubricated and that all necessary tools and accessories are readily available.

2. Load the program: Load the CNC program that corresponds to the part you will be machining into the machine's controller. This program will dictate the movement of the cutting tool and the rotation of the workpiece.

3. Set up the workpiece: Mount the workpiece on the chuck or faceplate and secure it tightly. Make sure the workpiece is aligned properly with the spindle and that the cutting tool will be able to reach the material to be removed.

4. Start the machine: Press the start button to begin the machining process. The machine will now follow the instructions in the CNC program, cutting away material to create the desired shape.

5. Monitor the machining process: Keep an eye on the machine while it is running to ensure that everything is running smoothly.

6. Make adjustments as necessary: If the machine encounters a problem or the finished part is not to the desired specifications, make adjustments to the program or the setup of the machine as necessary.

7. Inspect and finish the part: Once the machining process is complete, inspect the finished part to ensure that it meets the desired specifications. Perform any necessary finishing operations such as deburring or polishing.

8. Clean the machine: Clean the machine, including the cutting tool and the workpiece, before shutting down the machine.

It is important to follow the machine manual and any safety guidelines when operating a CNC Lathe.
