Flat Bed CNC Lathe

Features of Flat Bed CNC Lathe

A series CNC lathe is controlled by the CNC system for the X and Z axis, which can finish all kinds of cutting and turning on shafts or discs. Such as cylindrical surfaces, circular conical surfaces, arc surfaces, end faces, grooving, chamfering, metric and imperial straight thread, end face thread, and taper thread. This kind of flat bed lathe is suitable for multiply kinds and small or medium batch productions, especially wonderful for complicated and high accuracy parts.

Slant Bed Lathe vs Flatbed

Flatbed lathes remain perfect and can achieve the accuracy of rigid materials, while slant beds can obtain Z-axis movement during processing firstly.

For handling lighter and heavy-load materials, it is best to use a flat bed, because the slant bed can only work on lighter materials.

In terms of low power consumption, higher productivity, stability and machining, flat bed cnc lathe machines are more reliable than slant beds.

Slant bed lathes only work on lighter materials and are therefore relatively beneficial in terms of loading, access and processing, while flat bed lathes require the support of skilled professionals who can handle them correctly.

Applications and Benefits of Flat Bed CNC Lathe

In the case of precise metal positioning, the flat bed CNC lathe can work effectively to achieve high rigidity accuracy. It is Mainly used for heavy-duty cutting. Flat bed CNC lathes are also designed in various forms to manage the light metal and heavy metal turning process. In industries that require more workshop machining, a flat bed CNC lathe is found to be a more suitable choice, because we can obtain precise finishing and feel the ease of cutting and drilling, thus saving economic energy consumption. The most popular industry that flat bed CNC lathe are preferred, such as mining, transportation, paper industry, machinery, power plants, industries with high requirements for drilling technology, metal shearing industry, etc.
