Horizontal lathes are among the most widely used metal-cutting machine tools, primarily employed for machining rotary components such as shafts and discs/sleeves across multiple industrial sectors.
1. General Machinery Manufacturing Sector
This represents the primary application scenario for horizontal lathes, used to manufacture core components for various general-purpose machinery.
Machining shaft components—such as motor shafts, reducer shafts, and machine tool spindles—enables turning of outer circles, steps, and end faces.
Processing disc and sleeve components like gear blanks, flanges, and bearing rings enables machining of bores, outer diameters, end faces, and grooves.
2. Automotive and Transportation Sector
Indispensable in the production and maintenance of vehicles including automobiles, motorcycles, and vessels.
Automotive Manufacturing: Machines critical components such as crankshafts, camshafts, half-shafts, and transmission gear blanks.
Maintenance: Restores worn shafts and discs, such as repairing crankshaft journals in automotive engines.
3. Construction Machinery and Heavy Equipment Sector
Manufactures foundational components for large, heavy machinery—typically large-dimensioned and heavy-duty parts.
Processes hydraulic cylinder barrels and piston rods for excavators and loaders.
Processes load-bearing components like drum housings and connecting shafts for cranes.
4. Petrochemical and Energy Sector
Processing special high-temperature and high-pressure pipes and components for this industry.
Machining drill pipe joints and tubing joints for petroleum drilling equipment.
Manufacturing valve stem rods, pump shafts, and other components for power plant equipment.
5. Medical Devices and Precision Instruments Sector
Employing high-precision horizontal lathes for machining in scenarios demanding exceptional accuracy.
Processing surgical instrument components for medical devices, such as scalpel handles and preliminary shaping of orthopedic implants.
Machining high-precision parts for precision instruments, including drive shafts and dial plates.
