WHAT IS A LATHE MACHINE TOOL?
The world of machining is vast and diverse, and among the most iconic machine tools, we find the lathe. But what exactly is a lathe machine tool? And how does CAZENEUVE, a major player in the field, stand out with its innovative products? Let’s dive into this captivating realm.
DEFINITION OF A LATHE MACHINE TOOL
A lathe machine tool is a machine used to machine parts by chip removal. It allows for operations such as turning, drilling, threading, and many others. The workpiece is typically fixed on a chuck and rotated, while a cutting tool is moved along the piece to remove excess material and shape the piece as desired.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LATHE IN INDUSTRY
The lathe is one of the oldest and most widely used machine tools in the industry. It is essential for manufacturing numerous parts, ranging from simple bolts to complex aerospace components. Its versatility and precision make it an indispensable tool for many industrial sectors.
