Parts of Engine Lathe BedHeadstockTailstockCarriageFeed Mechanism

THE BEDThe Bed of lathe forms the base of the machine. It supported on two legs at a convenient height.It carries the head stock & tail stock for supporting the work & provides base for the movement of the Carriage assembly.Generally It is made from Cast Iron.Its Slideways guide carriage & tailstock.

HeadstockThe head stock houses the spindle & the means for supporting & rotating the Spindle.It Holds lathe spindle and gears.

TailstockTail stock is the counterpart of the head stock fitted at the right hand side of the bed.It Can be clamped in any location.Inside tapered to hold drill chuck.

CarriageThe Carriage assembly of the lathe comprises of a number of components which support, move & control the tool.It Moves the cutting tool along bed between tailstock and headstock.

Feed MechanismFeed mechanism is the combination of different units through which motion of headstock spindle is transmitted to headstock spindle is transmitted to carriage of lathe machine.

Alignment tests for latheTo Ensure that a machine tool is capable of producing good work, certain tests are performed on it.Before the various tests on any machine tool are carried out, it is very essential that it should be installed in truly horizontal and vertical planes. Lathe testsThe spindle axis should be parallel to bed.Cross- slide is perpendicular to spindle axis.Accuracy of pitch of lead screw.Miscellaneous Lathe test.THANK YOU
