First what is Lathe Machine?

This is a machine that use of people that can help to finish their work faster.

Definition:

Lathe Machine tool that can rotate a various motion so that it can create a perform that can result of cutting, facing, drilling, deformation, turning and also knurling.

Parts of Lathe machine:

1.Tail Stock

• It's a part of Lathe machine that can movable located on the opposite side of headstock.

1. Head Stock

• Head stock it supports the main spindle of Lathe machine of being necessary transmission mechanisms.

1. Saddle

• It's a H- shape of part on lathe machine mounted on the top of the lathe.

1. Tool Post

• It's is mounted on the lathe machine and it holds the various cutting tools.

1. Chuck

• This part is the basically holds the workpiece that you work.

There are 4 types of chuck

The 3jaw chuck or universal chuck- it moves simultaneously by the use of key and also the work piece, it can used to holding around by hexagonal bar or the other symmetrical work.

Magnetic chuck- it is a permanent magnetic on lathe machine but it doesn't widespread use for.

Collet chuck- this chuck is usually use for Capstan Lathe or automats.

Independent or four jaw chuck- it used for regular shapes, casting or rough of octagonal. It contains a 4 jaws and it's difference performance on universal but it depends on your work piece.

1. Feed Rod

• It's a power transmission mechanisms of Lathe machine that used for linear movement.

• Lead Screw

• It's mostly used for treading operations on the lathe machine.

1. Apron

• Apron it can consist the gears and clutches for transmitting operations on the parts of Lathe machine.

The Principle of Lathe Machine Process

-it is a working process on lathe that principle on rotating the work piece and it can fixed the cutting tool.

-the workpiece is hold between the two rigid and strongly that supports the workpiece and it is called the center in a chuck is the faceplate that revolves.
