Machine Shop Online.com News: More Lathe Automaiton
Summary:
Editor's note: Readers of the free Manufacturingtalk weekly email newsletter will have read this news the week it was announced.The twin-spindle lathe, available in 42mm and 65mm bar versions, has upper and lower turrets whose guideways consist of a cast iron plate sliding over ceramic-coated steel strips, X and Z motions being effected by kinematic rods behind the bed.Another unusual feature is the 2-axis opposed spindle, which is electronically coupled with the lower turret so backworking may be performed while twin-turret front-working is in progress at the main spindle.
