Slant-bed CNC lathes are widely used in modern manufacturing for turning, drilling, and threading operations. Their slanted bed design improves rigidity, chip removal, and overall machining accuracy.

Turning Operations

Turning is the primary method performed on slant-bed CNC lathes. The workpiece rotates while the cutting tool moves along defined paths to remove material. This method produces cylindrical shapes, tapered surfaces, and contours. By adjusting spindle speed, feed rate, and tool position, operators can achieve smooth finishes and precise dimensions on various metals and alloys.

Facing and Boring

Facing is used to create flat surfaces on the ends of cylindrical workpieces. The cutting tool moves perpendicular to the rotation axis, producing smooth, square-end faces. Boring, on the other hand, enlarges existing holes or refines their diameter. Slant-bed CNC lathes allow accurate alignment of the tool and workpiece, resulting in consistent internal diameters and high surface quality.

Threading and Grooving

Slant-bed lathes can perform external and internal threading by coordinating spindle rotation with precise tool movement. Grooving involves cutting narrow channels or slots on the workpiece surface. Both processes require accurate tool positioning and feed control, which are facilitated by the slant-bed design and CNC automation.

Drilling and Tapping

Drilling on slant-bed CNC lathes involves feeding a rotating drill into the workpiece to produce holes of specific sizes. Tapping creates threaded holes for fasteners. The machine’s stability and precise tool control allow these operations to be completed efficiently and accurately.

By utilizing turning, facing, boring, threading, grooving, drilling, and tapping, slant-bed CNC lathes provide versatile machining solutions. Their design and automation support high precision, productivity, and consistent results across a range of manufacturing applications.

When using cutting fluids, please follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly manage pH, the degree of mixing between the original fluid and the dilution water, the salt concentration of the dilution water, and the frequency of cutting fluid changes. If you use cutting fluids and guideway oils other than those recommended, pay full attention to the usage and conditions.
