Vertical lathes are also called vertical lathes. Vertical lathes are used to process workpieces with relatively large diameters and weights, or workpieces that are difficult to install on horizontal lathes. The spindle axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the workpiece is installed on a horizontal rotary table. The main motion of the worktable is driven by the rotation, and the feed motion is realized by the vertical tool holder and the side tool holder.

Vertical lathes are also used to process large and heavy workpieces with large radial dimensions and relatively small axial dimensions and complex shapes. Such as cylindrical surfaces, end faces, conical surfaces, cylindrical holes, conical holes, etc. of various discs, wheels and sleeves. Threading, spherical surface, profiling, milling and grinding can also be performed with the help of additional devices.
Compared with horizontal lathes, the workpiece is clamped on the clamping decoration inside the horizontal lathe. The spindle axis of the vertical lathe is arranged vertically, and the worktable surface is in the horizontal plane, so the clamping and alignment of the workpiece are more convenient. This layout reduces the load on the spindle and bearings, so the vertical CNC lathe can maintain working accuracy for a long time. Vertical lathes are large-scale mechanical equipment, used to process large and heavy workpieces with large radial dimensions and relatively small axial dimensions and complex shapes. Such as cylindrical surfaces, end faces, conical surfaces, cylindrical holes, conical holes, etc. of various discs, wheels and sleeves. It can also be used for threading, spherical surface turning, profiling, milling and grinding with the help of additional devices.
