1.0 CNC LATHE

1.1 OBJECTIVE

1. To understands the purpose and the correct method of lathe process.

2. To know the basic on the operation of the cnc lathe machice work so that it can be
used in a correct way.
3. To perform a simple machining operation to shape the aluminium rod based on the
given worlshop sheet.

1.2 SAFETY MEASURE

1. Do not wear any rings, watches or loose clothing while operating the cnc lathe
machine.
2. Make sure that the machine is stopped fully before taking any measurement.
3. Always stay at the machine while it is running.
4. Do not lean or rest hands on the moving table while the machine operating.
5. Remove the cutting tool from the spindle when machine being cleaned.

2.0 INTRODUCTION AND THEORY

A lathe is traditionally used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, thermal

spraying, parts reclamation, and glass-working. One or two centers typically hold the
workpiece, and at least one center can be moved horizontally to accommodate workpieces of
different lengths. CNC lathes are quickly replacing older production lathes due to their ease
of setting, operation, repeatability, and accuracy. CNC lathe work is just one type of CNC
machining.

But what is a CNC lathe? First, CNC stands for computer numerical control and refers to a
machine operated by a computer system. A CNC lathe is operated with precise design
instructions to machine parts to precise specifications. A CNC lathe is a machine tool where
the material or part is held in place and rotated by the main spindle as the cutting tool that
works on the material is mounted and moved on various axes. 

A simple CNC lathe operates on two axes with the cutting tool in a fixed position at 8 to 24
station turret. The rotating action of the workpiece is called "turning." This is why certain
types of CNC lathes are called CNC Turning Machines. CNC lathes produce precise round
shapes with an outer diameter (OD) and an inner diameter (ID). Many different kinds of
structures can be machined with this machine tool, depending on their various industries'
needs. They are commonly used in oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics,
mining, power plant, steel and paper mills, and shipbuilding industries.

Modern CNC lathe machines usually come with tools that could work on multiple axes.
Different types of machines can include both X and Y-axis, incorporate a second turret with
other tools, or include a second spindle. This means a CNC lathe can perform additional
milling, drilling, and tapping operations, resulting in a complete and even complex part
manufacturing process and eliminating the need to transfer the part to another machine for a
second operation. This article looks at the different types of CNC lathes, their applications,
and considerations.

3.0 WORK PROCEDURE AND APPARATUS

3.1 APPARATUS

APPARTUS REASON
Lathe Machine
 The lathe process is done here
 Safety Googles
 Protect eyes from debris and sharp
objects

Safety Glove
 Portect hand from debris and shrap
objects

COMMONLY USED G-CODES IN CNC LATHE

3.1 PROCEDURE

1. On main switch power

2. On main switch at the CNC machine.
3. Release emergency stop button by rotating it.
4. On display monitor (green button) and then wait until in ready. If not,
when we convert the program, the program will lost.
5. Enter the G-code into the system according to the form shown on the
CNC lathe drawing.
6. Press the start button and wait until the machine stops the process
before taking the product.

FINAL PRODUCT
 CNC Lathe Drawing

CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, I have learned a lot about this CNC turning machine. I
knew how to handle this machine and its safety precautions. This machine
is quite easy to handle and I very excited when handle it. This knowledge is
very useful to me and I hope that I can apply it when I work one day.
