Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC lathe technology, specifically to a detachable rotary tool post for a CNC lathe. Background Technology
[0002] The rotary tool turret of a CNC lathe is a device used to hold various cutting tools for different purposes. It is mounted on the turret head and the automatic tool changing action of the machine tool is realized by the rotation and indexing of the turret head. The main function of the rotary tool turret is to complete multiple or even all machining processes in one workpiece clamping, so as to shorten the auxiliary machining time, reduce the error caused by multiple workpiece clamping, and thus improve the machining efficiency and machining accuracy of the machine tool.

The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the spherical rotary tool post for CNC lathe greatly improves the accuracy of spherical diameter and sphericity machining of spheres by CNC lathes relying solely on the positional movement of the X / Y axis slides. Moreover, the rotary mechanism can rotate 300° precisely, enabling the precise machining of two or more spheres on a twin-spindle lathe, thereby greatly improving the precision machining performance of traditional CNC lathes."
