车床简介（Lathe profile） Lathe: mainly used for metal cutting machine, circular outer circle and thread forming surface processing. Lathe profile A lathe is a machine tool for turning a rotating workpiece with a lathe tool. Can also be used in the lathe drill, drill reamer taps Banya and knurling tools for the corresponding processing. Lathes are mainly used for machining shafts, disks, sleeves, and other workpieces with revolving surfaces. They are the most widely used machine tools in machine building and repair factories. Machines such as milling machines and drilling machines are drawn from lathes. {lathe development} The ancient lathe is by hands or feet, so that the rotation of the workpiece by the rope, and hand tools and cutting. Foot lathe In 1797, Mozley, a British mechanical inventor, created a modern lathe with a screw drive, and switched gears in 1800, changing the speed of feed and the pitch of the thread to be machined. In 1817, another Englishman, Roberts, used a four stage pulley and back wheel mechanism to change the spindle speed. In order to improve mechanization and automation, in 1845, Fitch invented turret lathe in the United states. In 1848, the United States returned to the wheel lathe In 1873, the United States Spencer made a single spindle automatic lathe, and soon he made another three axis automatic lathe In the early twentieth Century, a lathe with a gear transmission was driven by a single motor. After World War I, a variety of highly efficient automatic lathes and specialized lathes developed rapidly due to the needs of arms, automobiles and other mechanical industries. In order to improve the productivity of small batches of workpieces, the lathe with hydraulic profiling was popularized in the late 40s, while the multi tool lathe was developed. In 50s, the Development Zone, bolt punched card board and dial the program control lathe. CNC technology began to be used in lathes in 60s and developed rapidly in 70s. {general lathe} The main com
