The Lathe

Lathe is a machine tool which holds the work between two rigid and strong supports, called centers, or in a chuck or face plate.

The cutting tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post and is fed against the revolving work.

While the work revolves about its own axis, the tool is made to move either parallel to (Cylindrical surface) or at an angle with the axis (Tapered surface) to cut the desired material.

Types of Lathe 1. Speed lathe

Simplest of all types of lathe Contains Bed, Headstock, Tailstock, Tool post on adjustable slide No feed box, Lead screw, Carriage Headstock spindle speed:1200 to 3600 rpm Applications: Wood working, spinning, polishing etc.

Machine Tools 12

Types of Lathe … 2. Engine or Center lathe Most widely used Early lathes were driven by steam engines and so the name engine lathe Heavy duty Head stock is much more robust in construction Contains additional mechanism for multiple speeds Carriage, Feed rod and Lead screw are available and hence, longitudinal and

cross feeds are possible

Types of Lathe … 3. Bench lathe

Small lathe, mounted on a bench Just a scaled version of engine

lathe Used for small and precision work

4. Tool room lathe Greater accuracy More versatility Wide range of speeds and feeds Applications: Precision work on tools, dies,

gauges

Machine Tools 14

Capstan and Turret Lathes Tailstock of an engine lathe is

replaced by a hexagonal turret Several tools fitted on the turret

are fed into work in proper sequence to carryout different operations in one setting

Hence used for production work Capstan lathe Turret with its saddle can move

for a short distance over the sub bed.

Limitation: Length of a job to be machined is limited

Turret lathe: Turret with its saddle slides

directly on bed-ways enabling longer work to be machined

Types of Lathe … 6. Special purpose lathes

Used for special purposes Wheel lathe: For finishing journals, turning locomotive wheels Gap-bed lathe: A section of bed adjacent to tailstock is

removable thereby allowing very large diameter work to swing Duplicating lathe: To duplicate the shape of a template on to a

workpiece

Wheel lathe Duplicating lathe

Machine Tools 16

Types of Lathe … 7. Automatic lathe

Automatic control: Once the tools are set and the machine starts, all the operations will be performed automatically

Change of tools, speeds and feeds are done automatically

The jobs are made continuously one after the other without the intervention of operation

High speed, Heavy duty and Mass production lathe

Single or multi spindle Capable of simultaneous cuts

Operator’s role: Loading the bar stock Setting the tools Machine maintenance

The Bed

• Rigid to withstand the cutting forces

• Massive, sufficient to absorb vibration

• Resist the torsional stresses set up.

• Should be seasoned naturally to avoid distortion.

Methods to vary the speeds

1. By belt drive on cone pulley fitted on the headstock spindle with or without a back gear arrangement.

2. By all gear drive using sliding gears or clutches.

3. By variable speed motor.

Feed Mechanism • Feed: The distance advanced by the tool into or along

the workpiece for each revolution of the work.

Units: mm/rev. or mm/min.

• Types – Longitudinal feed (cylindrical turning, thread

cutting, etc.)

– Cross feed (facing, parting, etc.)

– Angular feed (taper turning, chamfering, etc.)

Feed Reverse Mechanism using Tumbler Gears

Tumbler gears are used to give the desired direction of movement to the lathe carriage, via lead screw or feed rod.

Tumbler Gear Mechanism Tumbler Gears

Forward motion: A-B-D: Carriage moves towards headstock

Reverse motion: A-C-B-D: Carriage moves away from headstock

Drawback: Non-rigid construction, hence not suitable for heavy duty

Two pinions B and C are mounted on a bracket.

Feed Reverse Mechanism using Bevel Gear Mechanism

Constructional details 1 – headstock spindle 2 – spindle gear 3 – driver gear keyed to stud shaft (7) 5 – gear on the lead screw (6) 8, 10, 12 – bevel gears with equal no. of teeth 11 – clutch (keyed to stud 7 by a feather key) 9 – lever (to engage clutch to gear 8 or 10 or

keep in neutral position) (Gear 13-sleeve-bevel gear 8) rotate freely on

stud 7 as one unit bevel gear 10 also rotates freely on stud 7

The clutch operated bevel gear feed reversing mechanism incorporated below the headstock or in the apron provides sufficient rigidity in construction.

Operation: When clutch is engaged to bevel gear 8: Motion flow: gear 2 – Idler gear – (gear 13, sleeve, bevel gear 8) – (stud 7, gear 3) Result: Gear 3 rotates in the same direction as that of gear 2. Hence, Forward motion, Carriage moves towards headstock. When clutch is engage to gear 10: Motion flow: gear 2 – Idler – (gear 13, sleeve, bevel gear 8) – bevel gear 12 – bevel gear 10 – (stud 7, gear 3) Result: Gear 3 rotates in opposite direction to that of gear 2. Hence, Reverse motion, Carriage moves away from headstock.

It consists of a cone of gears mounted on a hollow shaft.

Gears rotate independently freely on the shaft.

Steel washers are placed between the gears to prevent simultaneous engagement of adjacent gears.

With the help of sliding key (that slides within the hollow shaft), any one of the gears may be engaged to the cone gears on the driven shaft.

Motion is then transmitted finally to the lead screw or feed rod.

Feed Rod & Lead Screw

lead screw feed rod

Feed rod Used to engage automatic tool feed during turning, boring, facing etc.

Automatic tool feed is obtained by engaging feed rod so as to transmit power from the lathe spindle to the apron gears

Lead screw: Long threaded master screw

Engaged during thread cutting operation

In lathes without feed rod, lead screw may be used for turning, boring etc.

Fig. b) Sectional views of Half Nut Mechanism

Half Nut is engaged to the lead screw during threading.

The nut is made in two halves.

Each of these halves carries a pin at the back (P1 and P2 as shown in Fig. a) which engages into the cam slots provided in a plate at their back. When this plate is rotated by means of the lever L, it engages or disengages the split half nut with the lead screw depending upon the direction of rotation of the lever.

Cutting R.H. and L.H. Threads Right Hand threads: Threads slope up to the right when

screw is held vertically.

The spindle and the lead screw will rotate in the same direction.

Left Hand threads: Threads slope up to the left when

screw is held vertically.

The spindle and the lead screw will rotate in opposite direction.

This change of direction of rotation on lathe is effected by tumbler gear or by using proper number of idlers.

Left Hand thread - Applications Where the rotation of a shaft would cause a conventional right-handed nut to loosen rather than to tighten, e.g. on a left-hand bicycle pedal.

In combination with right-handed threads in turnbuckles.

In some gas supply connections to prevent dangerous misconnections, for example in gas welding the flammable gas supply uses left-handed threads.

Machining Time Calculations in Turning Cutting speed:

where d = diameter of the work in mm; N = speed of the work in rpm.

Feed: mm / rev. or mm / min.

f (mm / min) = f (mm / rev) X N (rev / min)

Machining time:

where l = length of the job, mm

f = feed in mm/rev.;

N = speed in rpm.
