Machine tool runout do

Cutter runout is mainly due to radial cutting force increase nc machine tools the radial runout. Therefore, reduce the radial cutting force is the important principle that the radial runout. CNC numerical control lathe factory suggestion can use the following method to reduce the radial runout:

1. Use intensity play knife: there are two main way to increase the intensity of tools. One is in the same radial cutting force under increasing tool rod diameter, tool rod diameter increased 20%, cutter runout can reduce 50%. The second is the extension of shorten the tool length. The tool length, the greater the processing cutting tool in the process of deformation, the greater the processing time is constantly changing. Cutter radial pulse will continue to change, to produce artifacts. The surface is not smooth. Tool length decreased by 20%, the radial runout of ability is reduced by 50%.

2。 Use a sharp knife: choose the cutting tool rake Angle, make more sharp tool, to reduce the cutting force and vibration. Elastic recovery in order to reduce the blade surface layer and transition surface friction between the workpiece and chose the tool after the big Angle in order to reduce vibration. However, tool Angle before and after can't choose too big, otherwise it will lead to the strength of the cutting tool and the cooling area is insufficient. Therefore, according to the different situation to choose the cutting tool rake Angle and back Angle, can use smaller thickness processing, but in the processing, to reduce the number of cutter runout, should realize the larger processing, make the tools more sharp.

3。 Tool rake face is smooth, in the process, smooth cutting can reduce the friction between cutter and cutting tool. Can also reduce the cutting force of cutting tools, reduce the cutter runout.

4。 When finishing using conventional milling: due to the clearance between the nut and screw in the smooth milling the change of the position, the workbench's feed will be uneven, can produce shock and vibration, affect the service life of machine tool, cutting tool, workpiece machining and surface roughness. When using reverse milling, cutting thickness, since the tool load since the childhood, the cutting tool in machining process is more stable. Note that this only used in machining process, and still used in the process of rough machining. This is due to the high productivity of smooth and milling and tool life can be guaranteed.

5。 The spindle taper hole and chuck cleaning: spindle taper hole and splint is clean, in the process of workpiece processing does not produce dust and debris. As far as possible when choosing machining tools, use the shorter length of the tool. When using knife, uniform intensity to be reasonable, don't too big or too small.

< br / >

6。 Choose a reasonable amount of knife: turning hours later, there will be a processing skid phenomenon, cause in the process of machining cutter eccentricity quantity changing, so that the processed surface is not smooth, knife is too large, cutting force will increase, lead to deformation of cutting tool. Large, increase the cutter radial jump momentum in the process also can make the finished surface is not smooth.

Maintaining Swiss-Type Lathe Fixtures – Locking Accuracy at the Micron Level

Daily “Clean + Lubricate” as the Baseline
After each shift, remove chips and coolant residue from the fixture surface and collet jaws with a soft cloth or air gun to prevent corrosion and re-clamping errors. Every eight hours, apply a trace of rust preventive oil to spring collets, guide bushings and other moving parts; once a week, add a thin coat of grease to ball-screw nuts and hydraulic cylinder rods to reduce wear. Before any prolonged shutdown, spray anti-rust oil on internal bores and locating faces and wrap them in wax paper or plastic film.
Precision Calibration & Data Closure
Use ring gauges or master bars every month to verify repeatability of the fixture; log results in the MES. If deviation exceeds 0.005 mm, trigger compensation or repair. For quick-change systems (HSK/Capto), check taper contact percentage every six months—target ≥ 80 %. If lower, re-grind or replace.
Spare Parts & Training
Keep minimum stock of jaws, seals and springs to enable replacement within two hours. Hold quarterly on-machine training sessions for operators on correct clamping practices and anomaly recognition to eliminate abusive clamping.
In short, embedding “clean–lubricate–inspect–calibrate” into daily SOP keeps the fixture delivering micron-level accuracy, reduces downtime, and extends overall machine life.
How To Preventing The Hidden Damage in Swiss-Type Lathes


Six preventive measures


Environment control: keep the workshop at a stable temperature and low humidity; exclude dust and corrosive gases to reduce chemical wear on guideways and screws.


Daily checks: remove chips every shift and inspect the lubrication of the spindle, bearings, ball screws and guideways; act on any abnormality immediately.


Preventive lubrication: replace lubricants on schedule and keep the lubrication system unobstructed to minimize fatigue wear.


Accuracy monitoring: use laser interferometers or ball-bar systems monthly to measure geometric errors and compensate for ball-screw backlash or guideway straightness in time.


Electrical health checks: periodically examine cables, relays and cooling fans to prevent hidden aging caused by overheating.


Data monitoring: onboard sensors record spindle current, vibration and temperature; cloud-based analytics predict early bearing or tool failures.


Why prevention matters
• Ensures machining consistency: eliminating micron-level error sources keeps batch dimensions stable and reduces scrap.
• Extends machine life: preventing micro-cracks from growing can prolong overall life by more than 20 %.
• Reduces unplanned downtime: planned maintenance replaces emergency repairs, increasing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by 10 % or more.
• Cuts total cost: lower spare-parts inventory, labor and lost-production costs can save tens of thousands of dollars per machine annually.
• Enhances brand reputation: consistent on-time, defect-free deliveries strengthen customer trust and secure future orders.
Cycle Time Optimization Strategies for Turn-Mill Machining





Optimizing cycle time on turn-mill machining centers is crucial for boosting productivity and reducing costs. It requires a systematic approach addressing machine tools, cutting tools, processes, programming, fixtures, and material flow.
Level Re-verification — The Gatekeeper of Swiss Lathe Accuracy



Ensure Geometric Accuracy
Swiss-type lathes process long, slender workpieces with multi-axis synchronization. A bed inclination of only 0.02 mm/m creates a “slope error” along the Z-axis, tilting the tool relative to the part centerline. This results in taper on outer diameters and asymmetric thread profiles. Periodic re-verification and re-leveling restore overall geometric accuracy to factory standards, guaranteeing consistent dimensions during extended production runs.


Extend Guideway and Ball-Screw Life
When the machine is not level, guideways carry uneven loads and lubricant films become discontinuous, accelerating localized wear and causing stick-slip or vibration. After re-leveling with shims or wedges, load distribution evens out, reducing guideway scoring and ball-screw side-loading. Service life typically improves by more than 20 %.


Suppress Thermal Growth and Vibration
A tilted bed leads to asymmetric coolant and lubricant flow, generating thermal gradients. Subsequent expansion further amplifies geometric errors. Re-verifying level, combined with thermal compensation, produces a more uniform temperature rise and reduces scrap caused by thermal drift. Additionally, a level bed raises natural frequencies, cutting chatter amplitude and improving surface finish by half to one full grade.
 From Low-Cost Alternative to Global Value Leader – China’s Swiss-Type Lathes


Chinese-built Swiss-type lathes have moved beyond the “low-cost substitute” label to become the “value leader” for overseas users. On the cost side, machines of comparable specification are priced well below those of traditional leading brands, and ongoing maintenance costs amount to only a fraction, dramatically lowering the entry barrier for small-to-medium job shops in Europe and North America. Lead time is equally compelling: major domestic OEMs can ship standard models within weeks, and special configurations follow shortly thereafter. When urgent orders arise from the electric-vehicle or medical-device sectors, Chinese production lines consistently deliver rapid responses.

Intelligence is on par with top-tier global standards. Machines routinely feature thermal compensation, AI-based tool-life prediction, and cloud-enabled remote diagnostics. Mean time between failures is long, and fully open data interfaces simplify secondary development for end users. Complementing this is a worldwide service network: Chinese manufacturers maintain parts depots and resident field engineers across the Americas, Europe, and Southeast Asia, enabling on-site support often within a single day, whereas legacy brands usually require factory returns measured in weeks.
Solutions for Bar Feed Jamming in Swiss-Type Lathes



1. Quick Troubleshooting Steps


Check the clamping pressure: Ensure the pressure plate or collet applies even force; too much or too little pressure will jam the bar. Adjust the pneumatic or hydraulic release mechanism accordingly.


Align the material path: Verify that the bar feeder, guide bushing, and spindle centers are collinear; any offset will cause the bar to twist or wedge.


Inspect belts and rollers: Belts must be tensioned correctly—loose belts slip, over-tight belts bind. Replace worn rollers immediately.


Lubricate moving parts: Clean and grease the eccentric shaft, release cam, and pusher fingers; lack of lubrication is a common cause of seizure.
Installation and Maintenance Guide for Swiss-Type Lathe Bed



I. Installation Guidelines for Swiss-Type Lathe Bed
1. Foundation Preparation


Floor Requirements: The Swiss lathe bed must be installed on a solid, level concrete foundation to prevent machining inaccuracies caused by ground settlement or vibration.



Load Capacity: The foundation must support the machine’s weight and dynamic cutting forces to avoid deformation affecting spindle and guide bushing alignment.



Vibration Isolation: If the workshop has vibration sources (e.g., punch presses, forging machines), anti-vibration pads or isolation trenches are recommended to enhance CNC machine stability.
Key Functions of Ball Screws in Swiss-Type Lathes
