What is CNC Lathing?
Lathe is a machine tool that performs turning operations in which unwanted material is removed from a workpiece rotated against a cutting tool.
History of the Lathe
The lathe is one of the oldest and most important machine tools. Wood lathes were in use in France as early as 1569. During the Industrial Revolution in England the machine was adapted for metal cutting. The rotating horizontal spindle to which the workholding device is attached is usually power driven at speeds that can be varied. On a speed lathe the cutting tool is supported on a tool rest and manipulated by hand.
Metalworking Lathes
Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The material can be held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. Other workholding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collet, or to a faceplate, using clamps or dogs.
Applications of Lathe Machines
Lathe machines can produce a variety of parts including gun barrels, camshafts, crankshafts, cue sticks, baseball bats and more.

CRV Lancaster Cams and Indexers, Inc. is an industry leader in high-quality production machining as well as automation and motion control products..
We employ specialists in the areas of motion control and precision machining, and our entire team is dedicated to serving you. Each customer receives the same dedication to quality and service.
Cam-driven indexing for rotary index tables operates on on a simple concept – translating a constant input into an intermittent output via the curvature of a cam. Various styles of cams, housing and outputs have been designed to accommodate applications both common and not
The most commonly used cam is the cam plate (also known as disc cam or radial cam) which is cut out of a piece of flat metal or plate. Here, the follower moves in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the camshaft..
Conjugate cams also called dual cams are a double disc cam that are bolted together. Because of the 2 rollers always touching the double disc cam the follower makes less noise and has better control at high speed.
We design and manufacture conjugate cams for all kind of machinery and applications. We build the conjugate cams in any configuration, material or size you want. We have many experience with manufacturing this type of cams. They are often used in our weaving machinery. Let us know the requirements and our engineer will do the rest.
A box cam consists of a rotating disc, normally made from steel. A groove is cut / milled into its surface to a specific depth The groove may be an unusual shape. As the disc rotates the follower follows the path of the groove. Cams of this type are used in a range of machines where a repetitive motion is needed.
Milling uses a cylindrical cutting tool that rotates in various directions and can move along multiple axes. It can create a wide array of shapes, slots, holes, and other necessary impressions. Also, the work piece of a CNC mill is able to move across the milling tool in specific directions
Both CNC horizontal and vertical machining centers are used by today’s engineers and manufacturers to create incredibly precise components from a full range of plastics, ceramics, composites, metals, castings, and specialty alloys.
An indexing head, also known as a dividing head or spiral head, is a specialized tool that allows a workpiece to be circularly indexed; that is, easily and precisely rotated to preset angles or circular divisions. Indexing heads are usually used on the tables of milling machines, but may be used on many other machine tools including drill presses, grinders, and boring machines.
Common jobs for a dividing head include machining the flutes of a milling cutter, cutting the teeth of a gear, milling curved slots, or drilling a bolt hole circle around the circumference of a part.
Indexing is an operation of dividing a periphery of a cylindrical workpiece into equal number of divisions by the help of index crank and index plate. A manual indexing head includes a hand crank. Rotating the hand crank in turn rotates the spindle and therefore the workpiece
