Standard Lathe Machines

About Standard Lathe Machines

A standard lathe machine is a fundamental tool in metalworking and manufacturing, often referred to as the "mother of all machines." Its primary function is to remove unwanted material from a rotating workpiece using a stationary cutting tool, shaping it into the desired form.

Key Features of a Standard Lathe Machine:

• Bed: The base of the machine that supports all other components. Made of cast iron for stability.

• Headstock: Located on the left side, it houses the main spindle and gear mechanisms to rotate the workpiece.

• Tailstock: Positioned opposite the headstock, it supports the other end of the workpiece and can hold tools like drills.

• Carriage: Moves the cutting tool along the workpiece. Includes the saddle, cross-slide, and tool post.

• Lead Screw & Feed Rod: Used for precise movement of the carriage during threading and turning operations.

Common Operations:

• Turning

• Facing

• Threading

• Drilling

• Knurling

• Boring

Precision Engineering for Diverse Operations

These lathe machines are engineered for tasks such as turning, facing, thread cutting and drilling. Their bed, hardened and precision-ground, supports consistent accuracy throughout the machining process and provides robust stability for heavy-duty operations.


Efficient Power and Speed Management

With rated power ranging from 2 HP to 7.5 HP and input speed of 1440 rpm, these machines can be configured to various output speeds for different applications. The efficient change gear system and spur gear arrangement contribute to smooth operation and up to 80% efficiency.


Versatile Application Across Industries

Standard Lathe Machines are suitable for workshops, manufacturing units, and engineering industries. Available through manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers in India, customers benefit from wide accessibility and tailored solutions to meet their machining requirements.
