In modern industry, machine tools are one of the most essential pieces of equipment. The various components of a machine tool also play an important role. This article QKZN will focus on one key component - the disc tailstock- and explore its functions.

 

What is a disc tailstock

The disc tailstock is an important component of a machine tool, which is often used to support and hold workpieces. It consists of a base and a removable tailstock with a disc-shaped support surface. This disc-shaped support surface is in contact with the workpiece and thus provides a stable support.

 

Functions of the disc tailstock

1. Stable support

The main function of the disc tailstock is to provide a stable support for the workpiece. During machining, the workpiece may be deformed or move due to cutting forces or vibrations. The disc tailstock can provide stable support by contacting the workpiece, thus reducing deformation and movement of the workpiece and ensuring the accuracy and quality of machining.

2. Adjusting and fixing the workpiece position

The tailstock of the disc tailstock is movable and can be adjusted according to the length and shape of the workpiece. By adjusting the position of the tailstock, the distance between the workpiece and the cutting tool can be kept constant, thus ensuring precision machining. At the same time, the disc tailstock can be fixed in position by means of a fastening device, which prevents the workpiece from moving during machining.

3. Suitable for different types of workpieces

The disc tailstock's disc-shaped support surface can be adapted to different types of workpiece. Whether the workpiece is cylindrical, conical or other shapes, the tailstock can be adjusted in position and angle to provide stable support in contact with the workpiece. This makes the disc tailstock a universal support device for a wide range of machining requirements.

4. Increased machining efficiency

By using the disc tailstock, the stable support of the workpiece reduces vibration and distortion during machining, thereby increasing machining accuracy and efficiency. At the same time, as the disc tailstock holds the workpiece in place, the operator can perform cutting and machining operations more easily, further increasing machining efficiency.

 

As a key component in machine tools, the disc tailstock has the advantages of providing stable support, adjusting and fixing the workpiece position, being suitable for different types of workpieces and increasing machining efficiency. During the machining process of a machine tool, the rational use and adjustment of the disc tailstock can ensure the accuracy and quality of the machining and increase productivity.
