INTRODUCTION
Lathe is a machine tool used to remove unwanted material from a given workpiece to get desired
shape. Introduction to Lathe It is generally used for machining cylindrical workpieces.
A typical lathe consists of bed, head stock, tail stock, tool post, carriage and feeding mechanism.
Lathe is capable of performing a number of operations. The simplest operation performed on a lathe is
straight turning. The working of lathe can be easily understood if we understand straight turning.
High-performance CNC Lathe Machine are designed to be extremely rigid, highly accurate, and very
thermally stable. All castings have been optimized using finite element analysis (FEA) to produce the
most rigid designs, while improving chip and coolant flow, and simplifying maintenance and service.
The spindle heads feature a compact, symmetrical design for thermal stability and rigidity, and the 45degree wedge design greatly increases the tool-mounting envelope and improves chip flow.
CNC Lathe Machine feature digital servomotors on all axes for precise motion control, and are
available with fully programmable tailstocks for additional workpiece support. Robust tool turrets
index quickly to reduce cycle times, and live tooling and X-axis options are available on most models
to perform secondary operations without refixturing.

The procedures
1. Sketch a design roughly on a paper. Then the design is redraw using Solidworks. The
dimensions of the design were stated.
2. The programming codes written based on drawing dimensions. The programming method is
absolute programming.
3. The programming codes is transferred into the CNC Lathe Machine.
4. The origin of the workpiece was set for each cutting tools T1 and T3. And the diameter of the
workpiece which is 25.4mm is added to X diameter.
5. Execute the machining process. The machining process finished in approximate 19 minutes.

END

As a conclusion, the project is completely success without any error or trouble encounter.
However, these couple of things can change in order to prevent this error. First thing need to
remember is make sure that the material is positioned correctly so that the workpiece wont move
around from its original position when the machine is start. The machine is also must fully prepared
and inspect and well maintained before used it. The program codes is also quite important to achieve

the best sequences of step required. When running the machine, the speed must set to a very low to
make sure the workpiece is clean when cutting process. The x-axis and z-axis must set every process
carefully before running the machine to make sure the tools touch the workpiece.
