Because the structure of the cam-type automatic lathe is relatively compact and the distance between the spindle and the tailstock is relatively small, it can only process parts with a length of about 70 cm. In order to further improve the processing functions, automatic lathe manufacturers are also constantly making design updates. For example, Bingju Company has made many improvements to the automatic lathe, and designed the tailstock to be a removable tailstock. When long parts need to be processed, the tailstock can be moved backwards. At present, Bingju Company's tool feed type An automatic lathe can process parts with a length of 120mm. Bingju Company also specially modified the tailstock. By replacing a special tailstock on the same automatic lathe, the longest length of processed parts can be extended to 200mm. This greatly increases the processing range of the tool-feed automatic lathe.
The oil chips flying everywhere during the machining process is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Therefore, Yixing Machine Tool Company added an oil cover as shown in the picture to the original automatic lathe to keep the workshop clean and adjust the machine. There is no need to move the oil cover during maintenance, which blocks oil debris without affecting debugging and other operations. The advantages of adding a protective cover to the Yixing automatic lathe are: fully enclosed and transparent design, no oil splash, more economical, on the other hand, the noise is greatly reduced and more environmentally friendly. Although the cam-type automatic lathe has the unique performance of stable processing accuracy and fast processing speed, in the development trend of CNC lathes constantly replacing ordinary lathes, it must have its limitations, that is, debugging is inconvenient and requires professional operators. The limitations of the cam lathe are what it needs to improve and develop. If CNC technology and cam technology can be combined into one, the development space of automatic lathes will be even greater. This is also where automatic lathe manufacturers need to constantly think and innovate.
