What are the main parts of the lathe?

1. Bed: it is the basic part of the lathe, which is used to support and install the components of the lathe to ensure its relative position, such as the bedside box, feed box, skateboard box, etc. The bed has sufficient rigidity and strength, and the surface accuracy of the bed is very high to ensure the correct relative position between the components. There are four parallel guides on the bed for the correct movement of the large drag plate (tool holder) and tailstock relative to the bedside box, in order to maintain the accuracy of the bed surface, attention should be paid to maintenance in the operation of the lathe.

2. Bedside box (spindle box): used to support the spindle and rotate it. The spindle is hollow. The outer cone of the front end is equipped with accessories such as a three-jaw chuck to hold the workpiece, the inner cone of the front end is used to install the tip, and the slender hole can be penetrated into the long bar stock. C6132 lathe has only one speed change in the headstock box, and its spindle transmission mechanism is placed in a separate gearbox away from the spindle to reduce the impact of vibration and heat generated by the transmission parts in the gearbox on the spindle.

3. Gearbox: the motor drives the gear shaft in the gearbox to rotate, and different speeds are obtained by changing the gear matching (meshing) position in the gearbox, and then the movement is transmitted to the spindle through the pulley drive.

4. The feed box, also known as the tool box, is equipped with a variable speed gear for feed movement, which can adjust the feed amount and pitch, and transmit the movement to the light rod or screw.

5. Light rod and screw: transmit the movement of the feed box to the skateboard box. The light rod is used for automatic feeding of general turning and cannot be used for turning threads. Lead screws are used to turn threads.

6. Skate box: also known as drag plate box, which is connected with the tool holder and is the control box of the lathe feed movement. It can change the rotational motion transmitted by the light rod into the longitudinal or transverse linear feed motion of the turning tool; the rotational motion transmitted by the screw can be directly changed into the longitudinal movement of the turning tool through the "split nut" to turn the thread.

7. Tool holder: used to clamp the turning tool and make it longitudinal, transverse or oblique feed movement.

8. Tailstock: installed on the bed guide. The tip is installed in the sleeve of the tailstock to support the workpiece; drills, reamers and other tools can also be installed to perform hole processing on the workpiece; the tailstock is offset and can also be used to turn the cone.
