 It is one of the most common and versatile metal cutting technologies.
 The machine is called lathe.
 In turning, a workpiece is rotated about its axis (cutting movement) as single-point cutting tools are
fed into it (feed and cutting depth movements), shearing away unwanted material and creating the
desired part.
 Typical geometries: Axially-symmetrical contoured part such as cylinders, cones and tapered shafts,
spheres, threads, etc
 Typical operations: Facing, Contour turning, Chamfering, Parting (Cut-off), Grooving, Threading,
Drilling, Knurling,…

BAR FEEDER
• Suitable for bar diameters 1mm - 100mm, and bar
lengths 12” (3-4 meters) or smaller
 Attention: larger diameters and lengths represent
more mass and more vibration when turned at high
speeds.
• A considerable workshop space is demanded.
• Bar remnants produced by using short bars may be an
economic issue.
• Bar pushing types:
1. Servo driven  more accurate.
2. Pneumatic  a bar stop is needed. Thus, a tool
position gets occupied with the
stop.

• Driven tools allow milling and drilling operations with C-
axis control required on the main spindle (orientation
and coupling to inhibit rotation or servo-controlled C
axis).
• Rotary tools are generally low powered and axis travel
rates are slow compared to a stand-alone machining
center.
• Any milling or drilling off the machine's center line is not
possible (a Y axis option is needed for that purpose).
• Application: keyway slots, holes on the center line,
spiral-milling cuts…

• Used when machining from both sides is required (both
spindles synchronize for part changing).
• Higher productivity  It may halve the cycle time
compared to a single revolver machine:
a)Tandem turning (same side turning).
b)Machining operations on the sub-spindle at the same
time as the main spindle.
• Typically 3 turrets (2 for the main spindle and 1 for the
sub-spindle), but 2 turrets also exist.
• Typical applications: Long slender components like
shafts and components machined on both sides.

• Spindle has the axial movement for workpiece load and

• Nearly always fitted with a bar-feeder ( ∅0.5mm - ∅40 mm).
• Uses a headstock  possible to machine long components
and small diameters without using a secondary spindle.
• Workpiece clamping system  collet.
• Application: complex, precise and small size parts.

• Several technologies are integrated into one machine:
turning, milling, drilling,…
• It has evolved from turning machines.
• The heart of the machine is the tool spindle (B
spindle), which even can be tilted. It provides milling,
drilling and tapping capability along with turning,
facing, grooving and threading.
• This spindle is serviced by an automatic tool changer
that resides outside the cutting zone.
• It may have a double spindle and one/two tool turrets.
• Application: very complex parts.

Jaw chuck
 Part clamped within a chuck and with no additional support
(maximum recommended cantilever 1.5 Diameter)
 Posibility to hold cylindrical or poligonal parts
(side number equal or multiple to the number of jaws).
Most common Chuck: Self-centering jaws
 Movement controlled by a single screw operated by a “T”
shape key. The jaws move simultaneously and exactly the
same amount of movement toward center.

Jaw Chuck and Center
 Part held on one side within a chuck and on the other side
with a live center.
 A lathe center holds the end of the workpiece, providing
support to preventing the workpiece from deflecting during
machining.
For cantilevers between 1.5Ø and 10Ø
Live Center:
Center contact point is mounted on bearings and allowed to spin
with workpiece. It is mounted in the tailstock quill (60º vertex).

Between Centers
 Part hold within two centers (live center and
dead center).
 Rotation is produced thanks to a dog. It is not
an energetic holding but it offers an excellent
centering (finishing operations).

Dead Center:
Solid steel tip that workpiece spins against.
It is mounted in the spindle hole (60º vertex).

 It is used to grasp parts with irregular shapes.
 It is used when no other clamping system is valid.
 It is a custom-designed clamp for a particular geometry.

46. 46
Steady and Follow rests
Steady rest
 Used in external or internal machining
operations.
 It stands stationary from a rigid mounting
on the bed, and it supports the workpiece at the
rest's center, typically with three contact points
120° apart.
Follow rest
 External machining of parts mounted within a chuck
and center.
 It is similar to the steady rest, but it is mounted to the
carriage rather than the bed, which means that as the
tool bit moves, the follower rest follows along.

Mandrel
 For external/internal concentric machining operations.
 Mandrel: It is a hardened and ground cylindrical piece having undercut centerholes on both ends. It is
used for holding hollow workpieces, or those that have been drilled or bored previously.
Solid mandrel
 Mandrels have a slight taper (1:2000). The workpiece is just
fixed by friction. The ends of the mandrel have machined flats
for the lathe dog to grip.
 Since solid machine mandrels have a very slight taper, they are
limited to workpieces with specific inside diameters.
 The workpiece is mounted on a cylindrical shaft and is axially
fixed using nuts.
 The coaxiality between the inner and outer diameter of the
workpiece depends on the workpiece and mandrel adjustment.

Gang mandrel

48. 48
Cone mandrel
 The workpice is fixed by means of an elastic collet (B).
The collet is expanded by pressing the nut (D) against the
taper shaft (M).
 On the same mandrel different size elastic collets can be
mounted to fix different diameter workpieces.
WORKHOLDING DEVICES

Expansion mandrel
 It is a very effective device for holding a part that has a hole
drilled through it.
 The part is secured between the tapers of the mandrel.
VIDEO

49. 49
Elastic collets
 Commonly used in turret lathes and automatic lathes.
 Collet: Taper body with an axial hole where the workpiece to
be machined is introduced (cylindrical, rectangular,
hexagonal,… bars).
 Longitudinal cuts offer elasticity to the collet and a uniform
fixture is obtained.
 The taper body is pulled manually or automatically against
the machine frame and the workpiece is fixed by pressure
(axial movement is needed to clamp/unclamp the workpiece).
One of the characteristics of this clamping system is the
possiblity to clamp and unclamp the workpiece with no
need to stop spinning.

 Reduce feed by 75% when approaching the centre, around 2 mm
before the part comes off  vibration ↓ and tool life ↑. Stop the feed
0.5mm before the centre and the part will drop down.

 Cutting tool has a shape that is imparted to the
workpiece by plunging the tool into the workpiece.
 In form turning, cutting tool is complex and expensive
but feed is linear and does not require special
machine tools or devices.
MACHINING OPERATIONS
 Cutting tool has a simple shape, but the feed motion is
complex; cutting tool is fed along a contour thus creating a
contoured shape on the workpiece.
 Not possible to be done efficiently in manual lathes.

 A single-point threading tool, typically with a 60

 The threads can be cut to a specified length
and pitch, and may require multiple passes to
be formed.

 It consists on creating a blind hole or a through hole using a drill.
 Two ways to obatain a gole:
1. The part spins and the drill has no rotation, only an axial
displacement thanks to the tailstock.
2. Using a live tool.

 The reaming is a finishing operation to achieve good dimensional
(H6,H7,H8) and surface tolerances depending on the ream.
 Two ways to ream within the lathe:
• Keeping the part stationary and spinning the ream handle
manually (the handle is supported in the tailstock).
• Spinning the part (Mc) and moving the ream axially (Ma)
(held within a drill chuck).
 The tool is called “reamer”. VIDEO
