In this article, we delve into the world of CNC lathe turrets, focusing on the three distinct types – BMT, VDI, and BOT – to guide manufacturers in making informed decisions tailored to their machining needs.
What Is a Turret Lathe? A turret lathe is a metalworking lathe machine used in the repetitive production of duplicate parts. It allows multiple cutting operations to be done quickly and easily in succession, making production more efficient.
Turrets in CNC machines come in various types, each designed to improve efficiency and precision in different machining operations. Let's explore the main types: horizontal orientation, vertical orientation, and multi-tool holding. Horizontal turrets are commonly used in CNC lathes.
The turret lathe, on the other hand, is suitable for long and heavy work, the larger size of machines having a capacity for bar work up to 200 mm diameter X 1500 mm long or for chuck work up to 750 mm diameter. Capstan lathes are limited to a maximum of 300 mm diameter chuck works. It is clear that turret lathes are larger, in
