Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece roundness detection technology, specifically to an online workpiece roundness detection device for turning centers. Background Technology

[0002] Turning refers to the process of machining a workpiece using a lathe (a type of machine tool). During turning, the workpiece is fixed on the spindle of the lathe and rotates at high speed, while the cutting tool (a type of cutting tool) moves along the surface of the workpiece, removing excess material through cutting action, thereby achieving the machining of the workpiece's shape, size, and surface quality.

[0003] Traditional roundness inspection is usually done offline, which requires removing the workpiece from the turning center and then measuring it with a special roundness inspection instrument. This not only increases the workpiece loading and unloading time but also reduces production efficiency.
