A vertical lathe is a lathe in which the spindle axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and the workpiece is mounted on a horizontal rotary table. Vertical lathes are mainly used to process large and heavy workpieces with large diameters and short lengths. The emergence of vertical lathes, especially their satisfactory rotation diameter, solves the problem of too heavy workpieces being difficult to clamp on horizontal lathes, and at the same time reduces the cost of clamping. The influence of the workpiece's own weight on the machining accuracy is eliminated.

The main structural feature of a vertical lathe is that its spindle is in a vertical position and the worktable is in a horizontal plane, which makes the installation and adjustment of the workpiece relatively convenient. The vertical lathe worktable is supported by guide rails, ensuring its good rigidity and smooth cutting. In addition, vertical lathes are equipped with multiple tool holders and can achieve quick tool changes, thereby improving processing efficiency.

When using a vertical lathe, you need to pay attention to operating specifications and safety standards, and perform regular maintenance and upkeep of the equipment to ensure normal operation and extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, selecting appropriate cutting tools, fixtures and measuring tools for vertical lathes, as well as optimizing processing parameters, are also the keys to improving processing quality and efficiency.

In general, vertical lathes play an important role in modern manufacturing with their unique structural characteristics and wide range of applications. Whether it is the processing of large workpieces or the realization of high-precision requirements, vertical lathes can provide stable and efficient solutions.
