Frequently asked questions on the subject: Long turning
What is long turning and how does the process work?
Sliding headstock turning is a manufacturing process in which workpieces with a long, cylindrical shape are machined on a sliding headstock turning machine. The workpiece is guided by the machine along the Z-axis while the tool works along the X-axis. This method enables the production of high-precision, thin-walled and complex-shaped parts in series production.
Which materials are best suited for long turning?
Swiss-type turning is particularly suitable for materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum and certain plastics. These materials can be machined efficiently on sliding headstock automatic lathes as they offer good machinability and the required precision is guaranteed. Materials such as titanium or hardened steels can also be machined, but require special machines and tools.
What are the advantages of Swiss-type turning compared to other turning processes?
The main advantage of sliding headstock turning is the high precision in the production of long, cylindrical parts. Long turning enables cost-effective and efficient series production, especially for small to medium quantities. In addition, the use of turret tools allows several machining steps to be carried out in a single clamping operation, which saves time and money.
What tolerances can be achieved with sliding headstock turning?
Very tight tolerances can be achieved with sliding headstock turning, often in the range of ± 0.01 mm. This makes the process ideal for the production of high-precision components, such as those required in the automotive industry, medical technology or aerospace engineering. However, the precision depends on the machine used and the specific requirements of the workpiece.
Why is it so important to choose the right tool for Swiss-type turning?
Selecting the right tool is crucial to achieving the desired tolerances and surface qualities. Different materials and geometries require adapted cutting tools to ensure optimum performance and tool life. The wrong tools can lead to inaccurate components, increased tool wear or a poor surface finish.
