Characteristics of Double Column CNC Vertical Lathe
There are two types of lathes: horizontal lathes and vertical lathes. The major difference between a vertical lathe and a horizontal lathe is the spindle. Vertical refers to the spindle being vertical, while horizontal refers to the spindle being horizontal. The following will introduce the characteristics of the double column CNC vertical lathe.
1. The difference between a vertical lathe and a regular lathe is that its spindle is vertical, which is equivalent to erecting a regular lathe vertically. Due to its workbench being in a horizontal position, it is suitable for processing heavy parts with large diameters and short lengths. It can be used for processing inner and outer cylinders, conical surfaces, end planes, grooves, chamfers, etc. The clamping and calibration of workpieces are relatively convenient.
2. Vertical lathes can generally be divided into single column and double column types. Small vertical lathes are generally made into single column type, while large vertical lathes are made into double column type. The main feature of a vertical lathe structure is that its spindle is in a vertical position. The main feature of a vertical lathe is that the workbench is in a horizontal plane, and the installation and adjustment of the workpiece are relatively convenient. The workbench is supported by guide rails, with good rigidity and smooth cutting.
3. The dual column CNC vertical lathe enhances the stability of the machine tool operation. The spindle is lubricated with imported advanced lubricating grease, fully enclosed, and maintenance free. The bed saddle and column guide rail use overweight load linear rolling guide rails, with good dynamic response performance and high accuracy retention. It is equipped with a high-quality six position vertical electric tool holder, with high rigidity, fast tool change, and reliable centralized machine tool operation panel, making operation more convenient The fast X/Z axis adopts high-precision ball screws and specialized bearings for the screws, with good accuracy retention and overall fully enclosed protection, which is environmentally friendly and clean.
From the perspective of vertical lathes as a whole, double column CNC vertical lathes belong to large-scale mechanical equipment, so their application is mainly in the processing of some large or heavy workpieces. In addition, additional devices can be added for machining such as turning, milling, and grinding.
