  6. The machining operations generally carried out in centre lathes are : • • Facing • • Centering • • Rough and finish turning • • Chamfering, shouldering, grooving, recessing etc • • Axial drilling and reaming by holding the cutting tool in the tailstock barrel • • Taper turning by • offsetting the tailstock • swivelling the compound slide • using form tool with taper over short length • using taper turning attachment if available • combining longitudinal feed and cross feed, if feasible. • • Boring (internal turning); straight and taper • • Forming; external and internal • • Cutting helical threads; external and internal • • Parting off • • Knurling

  8. The capstan lathe, having a relatively short stroke of the tool head and automatic indexing, results in a rapid presentation of the tools to the work. • 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 size as compared to capstan lathes. Unlike capstans, the turret and dead stops on turret lathes have to be indexed into position by hand. • Capstan and turret lathes give quite effectively the normal accuracy required for interchangeable mass production. The dimensional accuracy may be within 0.002 mm for turning and boring and within 0.005 mm for reaming.

  17. The 6-Spindle Automatic Lathe uses one spindle for loading and unloading. • The other five spindles are used for turning • The Multi-Spindle Automatic Lathe moves work pieces between 6 or 8 stations (processing locations), with processes such as boring, turning, chamfering, screw cutting, grooving, and drilling conducted at separate stations. • Pos1 loading/unloading requires the most time. This longest position time becomes the cycle time when using a 6 or 8 spindle automatic lathe
