What are the parts of cnc lathe machine?

Machine Bed The bed of a CNC Lathe or CNC Turning Centre forms the main base for the whole machine. It is where the different components of the machine are mounted on. For example, the spindle stock which houses the machine’s main spindle; tailstock body; X and Z axis slide; optional Y-axis; and sub-spindle.

What are the 3 types of turning?

1. Turning

  • Step Turning. Step turning creates two surfaces with an abrupt change in diameters between them.
  • Taper Turning. Taper turning produces a ramp transition between the two surfaces with different diameters due to the angled motion between the workpiece and a cutting tool.
  • Chamfer Turning.
  • Contour Turning.
  • Tapping.

What is P and Q in CNC turning?

P – FIRST LINE OF SUBROUTINE. Q – LAST LINE OF SUBROUTINE. U(2) – AMOUNT LEFT ON FOR FINISHING IN X.

What is turning operation in CNC?

Turning is a subtractive machining process that uses a cutting tool to remove material for creating cylindrical parts.

What are CNC machine parts?

A CNC machine is consists of the following parts:

  • Bed.
  • Headstock.
  • Tailstock.
  • Tailstock quill.
  • Footswitch or pedal.
  • Chuck.
  • Control panel.
  • Tool turret.

What are turned parts?

Turned parts, also called machined components, are created by a process called turning (often done with Computer Numerical Control, CNC). CNC turning allows for advanced designs and features. This turning process is also cost-effective and creates turned components with precise depth and dimension.

What are the different tools used during CNC turning job?

Drill bits have a conical cutting point and a shaft with one or more flutes-the helical grooves that run down the exterior of the tool.

  • Drill Bit.
  • End Mill.
  • Roughing End Mill.
  • Face Mill.
  • Side and Face Cutter.
  • Reamers.
  • Gear Cutter.
  • Hollow Mill.

What is G code used for?

G-code (also known as RS-274) is the name of the most prevalent programming language for computer numerical control (CNC) in computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). G-code provides metric-based numeric control of CAM-controlled equipment such as CNC milling machines.
