A lathe auxiliary device refers to a fixture used when machining on a lathe.
Firstly, a lathe is a machine tool that secures a workpiece to a rotating base and performs cutting operations using a tool called a 'bit.'
By utilizing a lathe auxiliary device, not only can the quality of the product be improved, but also the precision during machining and the efficiency of the process.
For example, when using a lathe for machining, as the bit moves, the lathe auxiliary device is employed to align the axis of rotation with the center of the workpiece and to ensure that the bit's complex movements do not cause any deviation.
Moreover, specialized lathe auxiliary devices are created and used based on the characteristics of the workpiece and the machining requirements.
One advantage is that even if different operators are involved in the process, maintaining high quality is possible. Additionally, it reduces the effort of performing positioning tasks for each machining operation.
