[0002] In the field of machining, lathes are one of the main pieces of equipment for machining shaft parts. Traditional lathes rely heavily on belt drive systems for spindle drive. Belts are prone to wear and loosening over long-term use, leading to decreased transmission efficiency and increased losses. At the same time, most lathes adopt a split bed structure design, which lacks rigidity and cannot meet the requirements of high-precision machining. Furthermore, the overall space occupied by the equipment is large, requiring a high level of installation space and limiting the flexibility of equipment layout. Utility Model Content

[0008] The Z-axis servo motor drives the slide saddle to move along the Z-axis direction, and the X-axis servo motor drives the slide plate to move along the X-axis direction. This is used to control the movement of the servo turret along the Z-axis and X-axis directions, and to cooperate with the spindle unit to complete the workpiece turning.
