Revolving Center

Revolving centers are an essential component of lathes and CNC machines that support the workpiece and rotate it while it's being machined. While the basic function of revolving centers remains the same, there are some key differences between the revolving centers used in conventional lathes and those used in CNC high-speed machines. Here are some of the main differences:

  1. Precision: CNC high-speed machines require much greater precision in the revolving center than conventional lathes. This is because CNC machines are capable of much higher speeds and more accurate cuts, so any inaccuracies in the revolving center can result in poor quality or scrapped parts.

  2. Load capacity: CNC high-speed machines often have higher load capacities than conventional lathes, which means that the revolving centers used in CNC machines need to be able to support heavier workpieces.

  3. Lubrication: CNC high-speed machines typically require more advanced lubrication systems to prevent overheating and ensure smooth operation. The revolving centers used in these machines often have built-in lubrication systems that distribute coolant or oil to the bearings.

  4. Materials: The materials used to make revolving centers for CNC high-speed machines are often different from those used in conventional lathes. CNC machines require materials that can withstand higher temperatures and greater stresses, so revolving centers for these machines are often made from high-speed steel, ceramic, or tungsten carbide.

  5. Design: The design of revolving centers for CNC high-speed machines is often more complex than those used in conventional lathes. CNC machines require revolving centers that can be easily installed and removed, that can be quickly adjusted, and that can be used with a variety of workpiece shapes and sizes. Additionally, CNC machines often require revolving centers that are compatible with specialized tooling and accessories.

Overall, the differences between revolving centers for conventional lathes and CNC high-speed machines reflect the different requirements of these machines. CNC machines are designed to produce parts quickly and accurately, so the components used in these machines need to be precise, robust, and flexible. Conventional lathes, on the other hand, are often used for simpler, less demanding applications, so the components used in these machines can be less sophisticated.
