Slant Bed CNC Lathe And Flat Bed CNC Lathe The Difference

CNC Lathe Machine——Slant Bed And Linear Guide Way CNC Lathe ALTCK6340S

What is Slant Bed CNC Lathe?

The plane of the two guide rails of the CNC lathe machine intersects the ground plane to form an inclined plane with angles 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°. Slant bed CNC lathe machine is a kind of high-precision and high-efficiency automatic machine tool which can be equipped with the multi-station turret and power turret and has a wide range of processing capabilities.

Slant Bed VS Flat Bed CNC Lathe, What Are the Differences Between Them?

1. Flat Bed CNC Lathe VS Slant Bed CNC Lathe in Structure

If we view from the side of the machine tool, the bed of the flat bed CNC lathe is square, and the bed of the slant bed CNC lathe is a right triangle. In the case of the same guide rail width, the X-directional carriage of the slant bed is longer than that the flat bed. The practical significance of the application on the lathe is that more tool positions can be arranged.

2. Slant Bed CNC Lathe VS Flatbed CNC Lathe in Chip Removal Ability

Due to the relationship of gravity, the slant bed CNC lathe is not prone to winding tools, and has advantages in chip removal. At the same time, with the center screw and rail protection sheet metal, it can avoid the accumulation of chips on the screw and guide rail. Generally, the slant bed CNC lathes are equipped with automatic chip conveyors, which can automatically remove chips and increase the effective working time of the workers. Differently, it is difficult to add an automatic chip conveyor to the structure of the flat bed.
