Explanation:
Lathe:
- A lathe is one of the oldest and perhaps most important tool ever developed.
- The job to be machined is rotated and the cutting tool is moved relative to the job, so they are also called "turning machines".
Parts of the lathe:
Its major parts are-
- Bed
- Headstock
- Tailstock
- Carriage
- Feed mechanism
Bed:
- base or foundation of a lathe.
- the majority of the cases it is made up of grey cast iron-nodular cast iron.
- holds or supports all parts of the lathe.
Headstock:
- permanently fastened to the innerways at the left end of the bed.
- support the spindle and driving arrangements.
- receive their power through the headstock.
- in order to allow the long bar or work holding devices to pass through, the headstock spindle is made hollow.
Tailstock:
- situated at the right-hand end of the bed.
- used for supporting the right end of the job.
- also used for holding and feeding the tools such as drills, reamers, tap etc.
- giving an outer bearing and support the circular job being turned on centers.
- set or adjusted for alignment or non-alignment with respect to the spindle center and carries a center called dead center for supporting one end of the work.
Carriage:
- control and supports the cutting tool. It has 5 major parts-
- saddle: H-shaped casting fitted over the bed and moves along the guideways.
- cross-slide: carries the compound slide and tool post, can be moved by hand and power both.
- compound rest: marked in degrees, used for taper turning.
- tool-post: tool is clamped on the tool-post.
- apron: attached to the saddle and hangs in-front of the bed, has gears, levers and clutches for moving the carriage with the lead screw for thread cutting.
Feed mechanism:
- employed for imparting various feeds (longitudinal, cross or angular) to the cutting tool.
- consists of feed reverse layer, tumbler reverse mechanism, change gear, feed gearbox, quick-change gear box, lead screw, feed rod, apron mechanism and half-nut mechanism.
