A flat-bed CNC lathe is a versatile machine used for precision turning and machining of cylindrical components. Its structure is composed of several key components that work together to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and stability during operation.

The bed forms the foundation of the machine. Made from high-strength cast iron or similar materials, it provides a rigid base that supports all other components. The flat design allows the carriage and tailstock to move smoothly along the longitudinal axis, ensuring precise alignment during machining.

The headstock is located at one end of the bed and houses the main spindle. The spindle rotates the workpiece at variable speeds, which can be adjusted according to the machining requirements. The headstock also contains the motor and gear system that provide the necessary power and torque.

Opposite the headstock, the tailstock supports the other end of the workpiece, particularly during long or slender parts. The tailstock can be adjusted along the bed to accommodate workpieces of varying lengths and may include a center or drill attachment.

The carriage is a movable assembly that holds the cutting tool. It typically consists of the saddle, cross-slide, and tool post, allowing the tool to move precisely along multiple axes. In CNC lathes, the carriage movement is controlled by computer programs, ensuring consistent and accurate machining.

Other important components include the control panel, which allows operators to input programs and monitor operations, and the coolant system, which helps maintain optimal temperatures and extends tool life.

It can cut all kinds of turning surfaces by bicycle, such as conical surfaces, special surfaces, etc., and can cut grooves, turn threads, bore, and ream, with high efficiency and strong applicability.
After super audio frequency quenching, the guideway of the lathe bed is finely ground, with high hardness and good rigidity. The machine head, guideway, bed, and carriage are thickened in size and increased in strength, which is suitable for processing various surplus workpieces.
The bed is treated by sticking plastic technology, which can move easily, reduce the abrasion of the guide rail of the bed, avoid crawling, and have high precision and long service life.
