The vertical lathe is one of the commonly used equipment in the mechanical processing industry. Its spindle is upright and the workpiece is processed in the vertical direction. However, when using this vertical lathe, we need to pay attention to its fixation method, because this is related to the stability and processing quality of the lathe. Next, let’s introduce the fixing methods of vertical lathes and their advantages and disadvantages.

Fixing method one: Base fixation

The base fixation method is to install the lathe on a base, and then use four bolts to fix the lathe on the base. The advantage of this fixing method is that it is stable, can ensure the accuracy of the lathe, and is not susceptible to external interference. But its shortcomings are also very prominent, that is, it is difficult to install and requires more complicated grouting and fixing bolts.

Fixing method two: foot fixation

The foot fixation method is to fix the lathe's feet directly on the ground. This method is simple and convenient. Its advantages include stable fixation, good vibration absorption capacity and strong anti-slip function. But it also has some disadvantages, such as the need to disassemble when moving the lathe, and uneven ground will affect lathe processing.

Fixing method three: Adjustable foot fixation

The adjusting foot fixation method is a fixing method that can adjust the stability of the lathe. It can make the lathe fast and stable and minimize the vibration of the lathe. The advantages of this method are that it is simple to install and can be adjusted quickly, which is more suitable for occasions that require frequent movement. But its disadvantage is that it is easily affected by uneven ground and requires frequent inspection and adjustment.

Overall, each fixation method has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, when choosing a vertical lathe fixation method, you need to choose the most suitable method according to the actual use occasion and needs. Whether it is base fixation, foot fixation or adjustment foot fixation, as long as the characteristics and advantages of the lathe can be reasonably utilized, the processing quality and efficiency can be effectively improved.
