Shop's New Combination Lathe Offers Increased Flexibility, Capabilities

摘要

The more capabilities a machine has, the more productive and efficient it can be. When JBC Machine wanted to replace its increasingly unreliable combination lathe, it chose a Weile E50 flat-bed machine that can function as a manual or programmable lathe. The company says it holds tighter tolerances, offers simplified threading capabilities, and provides more rigidity and spindle torque, and these capabilities have translated into faster part programming, speedier thread repair and the ability to use bigger tooling for heavier cuts.
