    Lathe Machine Automation

    Principle of Lathe machine aims to shape an article of metal by causing work piece to be held and rotated by the chuck while tool bit is advanced into work slide causing the cutting or chamfering action. Lathe machine is designed to cut cylindrical metal stock to further produce screw threads, tapered work, drilling & chamfering, knurled surfaces and crankshafts. Manual lathe can be economical but efficiency and accuracy not unto the mark desired by industry segment in which they serve. On the other hand, Controller based machine carries high precision, efficient production and reduced cycle time. In order to overcome this issue automation approach compare to conventional lathe machine employs AC Servo Motors and Stepper for X and Z Axis with Spindle motors driven by CNC or Motion controller to provide much needed escalation to the metallurgy segment.

Machine concept

CNC Lathe process produces complex parts with ease and its operations are capable of machining both the Interior and Exterior part of object. Interior operations carry process to modify inner diameter of the workpiece while exterior operation shapes removing extra material on object.

Internal operations of lathe include drilling, boring, reaming and tapping in which cutting tool enters the workpiece and cut internal diameter into previously drilled hole. External Operation enables threading, turning, facing and grooving cycles in which single point cutting tool axially with different features such as steps, chamfers and Tapers. Features are typically machined in multiple step cycles with small depth of cut until the needed diameter has been achieved.

Traditional Lathe machines consist of manual operation with complex process which makes it difficult to reduce machining time and increase production rates efficiently with accurate measure, so as not useful for mass production. Due to this feature of conventional Lathe, production can only rely on onsite manpower, and manually set the parameters of equipment production.

To resolve this problem in Lathe machine, ideal solution offered is to deploy smart Automation products enabling operational excellence for higher efficiency and productivity. As a solution provider in smart manufacturing technology for machine tool industry, LUBI looks forward to cater industrial automation package with intelligent software and hardware solution.

Automation package for Lathe includes CNC or Motion controller with relevant software design which operates the machine and enables discrete profiles making accurate cycles to shape object. The G-Codes supported by software enables design multiple steps of cycles to perform various operations carried out in Lathe machine.

LUBI offers AC Servo motors employed on both horizontal and vertical axis for accurate dimensions. It also provides high precision Ball screws and gear reducers for smooth and frictionless movement of work slides.

The Spindle motors and drive solution makes chuck to rotate at desire speed to grind the object without cutting line impressions. The smart sensing technology of LUBI enables close loop feedback system through Fiber sensors and also offers Light curtain sensor solution considering human safety in Machine tool industry.
