Product description

The heart moving machine type automatic lathe can simultaneously complete composite processing such as turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and carving. The machining efficiency and accuracy of the walking lathe are much higher than traditional CNC machine tools. The high-precision feed system ensures the high stiffness of the CNC lathe for the walking machine. The walking CNC lathe is equipped with a spindle oil cooling system and a high-end motor. Cooling oil can be matched with the spindle to form an oil cooling circuit, ensuring stable and long-lasting operation of the centering machine tool at room temperature. By using dual axis arranged cutting tools, the machining cycle is greatly shortened. By shortening the tool changing time between the blade arrangement and the opposite blade station, idle time can be saved. The CNC lathe of the walking machine can also be equipped with an automatic feed device, enabling a single machine tool to achieve fully automatic manufacturing. In this way, labor costs and product defect rates will be reduced. Very suitable for mass production of precision shaft components.

What is a walking heart CNC lathe?

Walking machine lathe, also known as walking machine CNC lathe, or walking machine automatic lathe. Traditional lathes process parts by moving cutting tools and rotating the spindle to move the tools in various directions.

The CNC lathe of the walking machine does not require rotation or tool switching, only the workpiece needs to be moved up and down. Part processing can be carried out through the rotation and movement of the spindle, and materials can be fed multiple times. Compared with traditional lathes, the walking machine lathe can produce high-precision parts using the center guide sleeve, which has great advantages in the processing of slender shaft parts.

The central guide sleeve can move and switch in various directions according to the position or direction of Z2, X2, and C2. The main function is to perform material splicing and auxiliary processing on the spindle. The subsequent processing of some parts requires corresponding tool holder processing on the secondary spindle, and the control channel used is separate from the spindle, so that there will be no interference between the secondary spindle and the spindle. In actual machining, the simultaneous use of two spindles greatly improves machining efficiency.

What is the difference between a lathe and a traditional lathe?

The biggest difference between a walking lathe and a traditional lathe is that the material of the walking lathe is mobile, while the cutting tools of the traditional lathe are mobile. On the one hand, it reduces the production assistance time of the lathe, and on the other hand, it reduces the production cycle and waiting time of the fixtures, which can significantly improve production efficiency. With the reduction of clamping times, the accuracy is improved. The side milling structure will astonishingly optimize the use of machine space. At the same time, most of these walking machine lathes have online detection functions, which can achieve positioning detection and precision control during the manufacturing process.

What are the advantages of a walking lathe?

1. Continuous processing

Usually, the maximum spindle box stroke of a lathe is over 200mm. If the length of the part is 5mm, the lathe can continuously process 20-30 parts with one clamping.

2. High stiffness

The automatic lathe of the walking machine fixes the material in the nearest position during turning. So the stiffness is very good. Imagine this situation, if the lathe clamps the part while the tool is machining the part at a distance of a few millimeters from the fixture. How good is rigidity?

3. Complete processing in one go

The walking machine automatic lathe has both turning and milling functions, and the complexity of one-time processing is also better than that of old-fashioned automatic lathes. Due to the forward and backward movement of the spindle Z and the movement of the tool in the X and Y directions, the lathe of the walking machine can achieve three-dimensional machining and complete the machining in one go.

What are the limitations of a heart moving automatic lathe?

The biggest limitation of a heart moving automatic lathe is the diameter of the bar material. At present, the largest CNC lathe can only process parts with a diameter of 38mm.

Application field

The walking heart machine CNC lathe belongs to high-precision machining equipment, which can complete composite machining such as turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and carving in one go. The walking machine automatic lathe is mainly used for large-scale production of precision hardware parts and special-shaped shafts. The walking machine lathe has high precision and high intelligence technology, using high-precision, high rigidity, built-in electric spindle and high-precision bearings, which can be matched with the stator and rotor. The precision of the spindle remains stable under high-speed rotation, with minimal error. The automatic lathe for walking machines originated in Germany and Switzerland, and was mainly used for precision machining of military equipment in the early days. With the continuous development and growth of industrialization, Swiss style lathes are gradually being applied to the processing of civilian products.
