Characteristics and Advantages of Single-Column Vertical Lathe

What is a Single Column Vertical Lathe?


A single column vertical lathe is a type of lathe, specifically a versatile ordinary lathe from the vertical lathe series. It is suitable for machining various small to medium-sized annular parts, shells, and flanges, such as the outer circle, outer taper, inner hole, inner taper turning, and drilling, expanding, boring, etc. Additionally, it is designed specifically for the ball plate processing of steel ball equipment, and is also widely applicable for processing various disc-shaped parts. SEALION's single column vertical lathe uses a servo motor and gearbox to directly drive the ball screw for X-axis and Z-axis feeding. This makes the machine more precise and allows for faster movement. The machine can be equipped with a handheld device for easy control. A full cover is optional, and there is also a chip conveyor and coolant system available. SEALION is one of China's most experienced single column vertical lathe manufacturers. With many years of industry experience, SEALION produces machines that meet the needs of various industrial applications and has always been committed to providing high-quality single column vertical lathes to customers.


Features of SEALION's Single Column Vertical Lathe


  • The single column vertical lathe is suitable for rough or fine machining of automotive parts, bearings, wind power, motors, pumps, etc.


  • The base and column are made of high-quality integrated castings.


  • X and Z axes utilize branded linear guides.


  • The main drive uses a variable frequency or servo motor drive, making the structure simple and highly efficient in transmission.


  • The servo motor and gearbox drive the ball screw directly for X and Z axis feeding. This achieves high precision and fast movement.


  • A full cover is optional, equipped with a chip conveyor and coolant system.


  • Handheld device.


Advantages of SEALION's Single Column Vertical Lathe


The single column vertical lathe is a compact, high-precision, heavy-duty machine. The rigid column and base are made of high-quality castings with many ribs to reduce thermal deformation and vibration. It is specifically designed for turning small to medium-sized workpieces.


X and Z axis guides are fully enclosed, and a forced lubrication system ensures high precision. The ball screw drive system enables fast movement and precise feed movement. The precision-grade ball screw is directly driven by the servo motor, eliminating the need for belts or gears, resulting in high accuracy.


The X and Z axes can work with the DRO system, allowing operators to easily set tools and complete machining in a simpler way.


If needed, a single spindle lathe can be converted to 2-axis CNC control.


An automatic lubrication system is a standard feature of this single spindle automatic lathe.
