Slide Lathe  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Sliding lathes or sliding lathes are machine tools that can be used above all to turn handwheel valves and underfloor hydrants. These systems are available in different versions and can be operated either via battery or via a mains connection. Most variants are heavy current connections. For the devices there are different attachments, so that further complicated shapes can be milled and turned.In a sliding lathe the respective workpieces are produced by hand by clamping the workpiece into the fitting. The tool rotates around the workpiece. Similar to metal lathes, specially hardened blades are used.In essence, such lathes are used in the field. But they are also frequently used within large plants, especially when it comes to replacing or renewing certain valves. These devices are mainly used in road construction or also in the installation of water or drainage systems. As already mentioned, they can be used in small companies to quickly produce spare parts for a wide variety of purposes with a sliding lathe especially handwheel valves. These serve the purpose of opening or, with the help of the valve controlled by them, interrupting a certain fluid circuit. Especially certain shut-off valves in heavy industry are manufactured with this fast method. image source: Company Frank Scheil Industrievertretungen
