Spindle speed variation
Spindle speed variation
Do you ever experience chatter on your CNC lathe?
Chatter must be avoided at all costs. Chatter not only produces a poor surface finish on diameters but also seriously limits tool life. Long slender shafts, extended boring bars, thin walls and so on, can present real challenges.
Spindle Speed Variation function allows the spindle speed to fluctuate within the period and amplitude of a sinusoidal curve which can be defined in a simple setup. With this function, very good results can be achieved in reducing chatter vibration.
All our TA, TD, and TTL series lathes CNC (from now on) are all equipped with SSV as standard.

Travelling steady
Our TD series of lathes are ideal to machine this type of component. When equipped with a travelling steady accuracy and surface finish can be maintained along the entire length of long and slender diameters, supporting shafts that would be next to impossible to turn without one. CMZ offers high…

Driven tool capability
Integrated motors on both turrets offer a combination of two 12-station turrets (24 live positions) and 14kW/42Nm driven tool power with spindle speeds of up to 12,000 rpm, a massive advantage for achieving quicker cycle times. Together with a generous Y-axis travel of +/-45mm available on both turrets,…

Thread rolling
Thread rolling may be your solution. This process forms the thread by shaping the metal, without removing chips. This is done using rollers that are the "negative" of the thread being produced. The machining times are much shorter than for thread turning, since it is done in just one round. Furthermore, the…

Parting Off with Y Axis
Material is a considerable percentage in component cost. In order to avoid large material waste on the cut off, the blades are usually very thin and long, which often lead to vibrations and bad surface finish. The only solution is to reduce the tool overhang to minimise the effect; however, the…
Do you need help with an application?
Our applications department can analyse in detail the process to be carried out and offer you a part study helping you to reduce cycle times.
