We were discussing the types of lathe machines and their use and Different parts of the lathe machine and their functions in our previous post.
We will see how a lathe can be completely specified. We will basically study here the complete specifications of the lathe with the help of this post.
Specifications of lathe
We can specify a lathe machine completely with the following factors or parameters
Height of the centers.
The swing over the bed: Largest diameter of work that will rotate without touching the bed. It is generally twice the height of centers.
The length between centers: It is the greatest length of the work that can be held between the headstock and tailstock centers.
Type of bed: It may be a straight or gap bed.
Spindle speed range: Number of speeds.
Width of the bed.
Metric thread pitches.
Cross feed and longitudinal feeds.
Cross-slide travel.
Tailstock sleeve travel.
Horsepower of the main motor and RPM.
Chipping Dimensions: Length ́ Height ́ Width ́ Weight.
We will study the Accessories of a lathe machine i.e. devices that are used for holding and supporting the work and the tool on the lathe with the help of next post.
