What is live tooling CNC lathe?

Live Tooling, as the name implies, is specifically driven by the CNC control and the turret of various spindle and powered sub-spindle configurations on CNC lathes to perform various operations while the workpiece remains in orientation to the main spindle.

What is VDI live tooling?

Live tools are dynamic tools that drive a cutting tool (endmill, threadmill, drill, tap) that is secured with a collet or other coupling on the live tool spindle. Our tools come in radial or axial configurations and are available for VDI or BMT65 stations to accommodate a wide variety of turrets and machines.

What is a Haas lathe?

The innovative Haas CL-1 is an ultra-compact CNC chucker lathe that comes standard with an 8-station automatic turret, making it perfect for high-volume production of small, precision parts, such as those found in the communications, aerospace, medical, and dental industries.

What is a turret lathe used for?

The turret lathe is a form of metalworking lathe that is used for repetitive production of duplicate parts, which by the nature of their cutting process are usually interchangeable.

What kind of live tooling does Haas CNC use?

The Haas ST-10Y is a small-footprint Y-axis turning center that provides 4″ of Y-axis travel (±2″ from the centerline) for off-center milling, drilling, and tapping, and comes standard with high-torque live tooling and a servo-driven C axis for versatile 4-axis capability. YouTube.

What are the different types of live tools?

The live tools are available in various designs for many machine types: 1 Radial heads 90° 2 Radial heads ≠ 90° 3 Axial heads 4 Swivel heads 5 Multi-spindle heads

Why do you need a Y axis lathe?

The machine tool industry’s most user-friendly control is better than ever, and ready to help you create almost anything. Add multitasking capabilities to reduce your setups and increase part accuracy. Multitasking is key to reducing setups and increasing part accuracy. Our dual-spindle, Y-axis lathes provide “done-in-one” machining capability.

Which is better Haas turret or live tooling?

Not only will your shop be more productive and experience reduced setup times, but the BMT65 turret and live tooling also provide increased cutting performance, longer tool life, and better tool clearance, when compared to older Haas lathe models.
