Usually in components where lubrication or coolant is necessary deep holes can be found in the workpiece to access required positions. The question is often if it is feasible to do it in a CNC lathe. There are machines dedicated to deep hole drilling, but in some cases, they can be done in the same operation in the lathe.
Drilling long holes over 42 times the diameter in a CNC lathe is possible.
This document will explain what is necessary to do an axial hole in a CMZ TD series machine (TD-35-Y-2200).

Polygon turning is a process through which flat planes are obtained on the piece through synchronized rotation of the spindle and the live tool. Polygon turning can be performed on our CMZ CNC lathes. It is an alternative process to milling each surface individually. It is more similar to lathing…
The geometry of the gear in the gear hobbing process is obtained by the synchronised movement between the spindle and the live tool. The limit to manufacture gears in a CMZ CNC lathe is around the hob tool being able to produce the required profile but for occasional machining. Bigger gears require…
We can often find features in our drawings where an angular machining operation is required. With standard toolholders these features are not achievable because only operations in X and Z directions are possible with standard live toolholders. However, there are some adjustable angle heads in the…
We would like to welcome helical gear hobbing in a CNC lathe and say goodbye to the dead time that occurs when you have to turn and hob on two different machines. The range of possibilities is very broad since we can hob cylindrical gears with both straight and helical teeth. Technical characteristics…
Our applications department can analyse in detail the process to be carried out and offer you a part study helping you to reduce cycle times.
We suspect that you have not found what you are looking for. We have some great ideas for our next application videos, but we would also like to find out your opinion on...
