Automation of Lathe Machine

Agrcultural engineering

Modern technology can now be used in industries to make goods by using computer hardware, software, and firmware. To obtain more precise measurements and irregular shapes, a CNC lathe is required. Therefore, CNC machines are playing a bigger and bigger role in modern industry. In our nation, there are lots of traditional lathe machines. These traditional lathe machines need to be retrofitted in order to become semi-automatic control lathe machines in order to establish a new modern developed nation. There are three components that must be developed and changed into a semi-automatic control lathe machine: mechanical, electronic, and hydraulic. In this project, we transform standard lathes with 5 foot bed lengths into semi-automatic lathes. For improved accuracy on the mechanical side, we swap out the lead screw for a ball screw, and we get rid of extra parts like gears to make room for motors. For the installation of motors, we add additional plates or a structure. furthermore offers a coolant hydraulic circuit. For the Z and X axes on the electronic side, we employed servo/stepper motors and a controller to ensure smooth operation.
