Vertical lathe is one of the most common machine tools on the market. It is usually used to process cylindrical parts, such as shafts, sleeves, gears, etc. The vertical lathe has a relatively simple structure and is easy to use, especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or self-employed individuals. However, choosing a vertical lathe that suits you also requires careful consideration and selection. The following will introduce in detail what issues you need to pay attention to when choosing a vertical lathe.

1. Machine quality and performance

First, pay attention to the quality and performance of your vertical lathe. A good vertical lathe should have a solid structure, stable processing performance and high-precision processing results. Generally, better machines are more reliable when purchased through formal channels, and also have good after-sales service guarantees. Therefore, when purchasing, you should pay attention to choosing well-known brands and brands with certain market reputation.

2. Range of processing diameter and length

Vertical lathes have different restrictions on material diameter and length during processing. Therefore, when purchasing, you need to select the processing diameter and length range of the machine according to your own production requirements. When purchasing, you must fully consider the processing volume and processing capabilities your company requires when processing certain large-sized parts.

3. Processing speed and spindle speed

Processing speed and spindle speed are important indicators to measure the performance of vertical lathes. Faster processing speed can increase production efficiency, while spindle speed reaches a balance point between processing efficiency and processing quality. Therefore, when purchasing a vertical lathe, the spindle speed depends on whether it meets the processing requirements of the workpiece. If you often manufacture parts of different sizes, you should choose a model with adjustable spindle speed.

4. Degree of automation of the machine

The degree of automation of a vertical lathe is also an issue that needs to be considered when purchasing. Currently, there are many highly intelligent machines on the market, which can realize automatic processing and production monitoring through control systems. Some of these robots can complete automated, highly repeatable, and relatively simple operations. When purchasing, you should choose the degree of automation based on your business needs.

To sum up, when choosing a vertical lathe, you need to pay attention to the above main aspects, and choose the machine that best suits you based on the actual production situation.
