Vertical Turning Lathe

What's the Vertical Lathe?

Vertical lathes are large-scale mechanical equipment used to processing the big heavy-duty workpieces with large radial dimensions,relatively small axial dimensions and complex shapes. Such as various discs, wheels and sleeves of the cylindrical surface, end face, conical surface, cylindrical hole, conical hole and so on. It also can processing the spheroidal, contoured, milled and ground with additional tooling.The axis of the vertical lathe spindle is vertical, and the table top is in a horizontal plane, so the clamping and alignment of the workpiece is convenient. This arrangement reduces the load on the spindle and bearings, so the vertical lathe can maintain working accuracy for long time.

The main spindle of the vertical lathe is vertical and has a circular table for mounting the workpiece. Since the table is in a horizontal position, the alignment and clamping of the workpiece are convenient, the gravity of the workpiece and the table is received by the bed rail or the thrust bearing, and the spindle does not bend. So the vertical lathe is suitable for processing large disc parts. The vertical tool holder on the vertical lathe can be moved along the beam guide and the tool holder rail to feed horizontally or longitudinally. The tool holder can be deflected at an angle for oblique feed. The side tool holder can move up and down along the column guide rail, and also can move left and right along the tool holder slide to realize vertical or horizontal feed.
