Head lathe for heavy workpieces with high chip capacity In the group of lathes, Head lathes and head lathes can be recognized by the short and often split lathe. The machines are particularly suitable for short workpieces with large diameters. However, they are unsuitable for long workpieces. Because of the rather large circumference, workpieces with high weight are processed, which are carried by a rather small standing surface, head lathes have a more massive substructure than comparable turning or turning machines with longer lathe. head lathes are used more frequently in the woodworking and more rarely in the metal processing. Therefore, head lathes are also found as a group of turning machines. Many machines from the 20th century are in use in metal processing. Due to the trend towards CNC-controlled and multi-functional machines, pure head lathes for metalworking are no longer produced in such large quantities as 20 years ago. In wood processing, for example, bowls or balls with a large circumference of more than 50 cm are produced on head lathes. These decorative unique pieces, for example made of burl wood, are in demand as showpieces and for sophisticated interiors. The facing lathe processes flywhe wheels, rope sheaves, forgings and castings. It is also called a facing lathe or facing lathes. At the beginning of the 19th century, this cutting machine tool was designed by an Englishman, Henry Maudslay. The gear drive of the machine is operated by a cast iron frame anchored in the foundation. The working spindle and the cross bed are also adapted. The skill of the machine as the workpieces are made is perfect. These machines for the production of turned parts are also built horizontally, with a turntable. The workpiece diameter is 1200 mm. The speed range is 3 to 8 min-1. The mass is 2000 kg. The facing lathe is especially well known for flat guides and is possible to adapt. These are the possibilities offered by the adaptation. It is one of the vertical lathes and has an overlay coupling with which it can be driven well. This is what distinguishes this special machine and not for nothing it has to turn its name according to plan. The machine guarantees a fast feed and different points. The spindle brake is also very well adapted on this machine. The turning processes are also very good and the surfaces are also very well ground by the facing lathe. It can also be used for threading. So there are several possibilities for the use of the facing lathe and they are always very good in the adaptation.
