Slant Bed Lathe Is Great.

What is Slant Bed CNC Lathe?

Slant bed CNC lathes are usually equipped with multi-station turret or power turret, is a type of high accuracy, high speed, and high-precision automated machine tool.

Slant bed lathes are most suitable for the manufacture of medium-sized components such as aircraft, automobiles, glasses although lighters and can also be used to process linear cylinders, diagonal cylinders, arcs, and various complex components like threads and slots.

ML-Series is  horizontal turning center and has a 45° slant bed in Maple-Tech.

Slant bed Lathe has these 6 benefits:

• Superior chip removal performance. 
• Extended machine life with limited undue stress and wear on the guides. 
• Larger X-axis travels. 
• Larger part capacity. 
• Sturdier base support for the turret. 
• Consistent accuracy of all parts machined.

Customers like to adopt lathe in machining process because of its versatility.

Below we introduce 7 main function of lathe machining for your reference.

1. Cylindrical Shapes-Lathes can create objects like shafts and rods.

2. Tapers-Lathes can produce tapered surfaces by adjusting the angle of the tool.

3. Threads-Lathes can cut threads which is essential for screws and bolts.

4. Facing-Lathe can be used to create flat surfaces on the end of a workpiece.

5. Drilling-Lathes can perform drilling operations with the addition of a drill chuck.

6. Knurling-Lathes can add textured pattern to a cylindrical surface for better grip.

7. Grooving-Lathes can cut grooves or channels on the surface of a workpiece.
