An automatic lathe is a specialist who deals with the operation and programming of automatic lathe machines. They perform mechanical processing of elements based on previously programmed instructions. The work of an automatic lathe is different from that of a manual, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) or copying lathe. Mainly due to the degree of automation and complexity of operating the machine.
Types of turning work:
- universal
- CNC (Numerically Controlled)
- vertical
- copying
- multi-spindle
- automatic
- revolver
- disc cutting machining
- turning screws
- conical cutting
Work specification
Unlike a manual lathe, which performs machining by hand using tools, an automatic lathe operates a machine. The machine processes the material according to a previously programmed program. CNC machines are also computer controlled. However, they often require operator supervision. While an automatic lathe may be more involved in programming and supervising the process than in manual operations.
Industry and products
Automatic lathes produce a variety of elements, depending on the needs of the industry in which they work. These may be precision elements, such as parts for the automotive, aviation or medical industries. In addition, mass elements, e.g. screws, nuts and other details used in mass production.
The industries that need automatic lathes the most are those that produce large volumes of high-precision parts. The automotive, aviation, electronics and medical industries are just a few examples where automatic lathes are used to produce elements of various shapes and sizes.
Automatic Lathe – The perfect candidate
The ideal candidate for the position of an automatic lathe should have solid experience in operating lathe machines. Moreover, programming skills, the ability to read technical drawings and knowledge of tools and materials used in the machining process. In addition, it is important to have analytical skills, precision and readiness to work in a dynamic production environment.
The automatic lathe is mainly used in parts of the production process that require precise machining of elements. He is responsible for programming machines, supervising the machining process, quality control and possible adjustment of machine parameters to ensure optimal production results.
