【正文】 nd highly desirable attributes. Today these lathes are used primarily in small shops where smaller quantities rather than large production runs are encountered. The engine lathe has been replaced in today’s production shops by a wide variety of automatic lathes such as automatic of singlepoint tooling for maximum metal removal, and the use of form tools for finish on a par with the fastest processing equipment on the scene today. Tolerances for the engine lathe depend primarily on the skill of the operator. The design engineer must be careful in using tolerances of an experimental part that has been produced on the engine lathe by a skilled operator. In redesigning an experimental part for production, economical tolerances should be used. 6 Turret Lathes Production machining equipment must be evaluated now, more than ever before, this criterion for establishing the production qualification of a specific method, the turret lathe merits a high rating. In designing for low quantities such as 100 or 200 parts, it is most economical to use the turret lathe. In achieving the optimum tolerances possible on the turrets lathe, the designer should strive for a minimum of operations. Automatic Screw Machines Generally, automatic screw machines fall into several categories。 singlespindle automatics, multiplespindle automatics and automatic chucking machines. Originally designed for rapid, automatic production of screws and similar threaded parts, the automatic screw machine has long since exceeded the confines of this narrow field, and today plays a vital role in the mass production of a variety of precision parts. Quantities play an important part in the economy of the parts machined on the automatic screw machine. Quantities less than on the automatic screw machine. The cost of the parts machined can be reduced if the minimum economical lot size is calculated and the proper machine is selected for these quantities. Automatic Tracer Lathes Since surface roughness depends greatly on material turned, tooling , and feeds and speeds employed, minimum tolerances that can be held on auto matic tracer lathes are not necessarily the most economical tolerances. In some cases, tolerances of are held in continuous production using but one cut . groove width can be held to on some parts. Bores and singlepoint finishes can be held to . On highproduction runs where maximum output is desirable, a minimum tolerance of is economical on both diameter and length of turn. 7 車床 車床主要是為了進(jìn)行車外圓、車端面和鏜孔等項(xiàng)工作而設(shè)計(jì)的機(jī)床。車削很少在其他種類的機(jī)床上進(jìn)行，而且任何一種其他機(jī)床都不能像車床那樣方便地進(jìn)行車削加工。由于車床還可以用來鉆孔和鉸孔，車床的多功能性可以使工件在一次安裝中完成幾種加工。因此，在生產(chǎn)中使用的各種車床比任何其他種類的機(jī)床都多。 車床的基本部件有：床身、主軸箱組件、尾座組件、溜板組件、絲杠和光杠。 床身是車床的基礎(chǔ)件。它能常是由經(jīng)過充分正火或時(shí)效處理的灰鑄鐵或者球墨鐵制成。它是一個(gè)堅(jiān)固的剛性框架，所有其他基本部件都安裝在床身上。通常在床身上有內(nèi)外 兩組平行的導(dǎo)軌。有些制造廠對(duì)全部四條導(dǎo)軌都采用導(dǎo)軌尖朝上的三角形導(dǎo)軌（即山形導(dǎo)軌），而有的制造廠則在一組中或者兩組中都采用一個(gè)三角形導(dǎo)軌和一個(gè)矩形導(dǎo)軌。導(dǎo)軌要經(jīng)過精密加工以保證其直線度精度。為了抵抗磨損和擦傷，大多數(shù)現(xiàn)代機(jī)床的導(dǎo)軌是經(jīng)過表面淬硬的，但是在操作時(shí)還應(yīng)該小心，以避免損傷導(dǎo)軌。導(dǎo)軌上的任何誤差，常常意味著整個(gè)機(jī)床的精度遭到破壞。 主軸箱安裝在內(nèi)側(cè)導(dǎo)軌的固定位置上，一般在床身的左端。它提供動(dòng)力，并可使工件在各種速度下回轉(zhuǎn)。它基本上由一個(gè)安裝在精密軸承中的空心主軸和一系列變速齒輪(類似于卡車變速箱 )所 組成。通過變速齒輪，主軸可以在許多種轉(zhuǎn)速下旋轉(zhuǎn)。大多數(shù)車床有 8~12 種轉(zhuǎn)速，一般按等比級(jí)數(shù)排列。而且在現(xiàn)代機(jī)床上只需扳動(dòng) 2~4 個(gè)手柄，就能得到全部轉(zhuǎn)速。一種正在不斷增長(zhǎng)的趨勢(shì)是通過電氣的或者機(jī)械的裝置進(jìn)行無級(jí)變速。 由于機(jī)床的精度在很大程度上取決于主軸，因此，主軸的結(jié)構(gòu)尺寸較大，通常安裝在預(yù)緊后的重型圓錐滾子軸承或球軸承中。主軸中有一個(gè)貫穿全長(zhǎng)的通孔，長(zhǎng)棒料可以通過該孔送料。主軸孔的大小是車床的一個(gè)重要尺寸，因此當(dāng)工件必須通過主軸孔供料時(shí)，它確定了能夠加工的棒料毛坯的最大尺寸。 尾座組件主要由三部分組成。底 板與床身的內(nèi)側(cè)導(dǎo)軌配合，并可以在導(dǎo)軌上作縱向移動(dòng)。底板上有一個(gè)可以使整個(gè)尾座組件夾緊在任意位置上的裝置。尾座體安裝在底板上，可以沿某種類型的鍵槽在底板上橫向移動(dòng)，使尾座能與主軸箱中的主軸對(duì)正。尾座的第三個(gè)組成部分是尾座套筒。它是一個(gè)直徑通常大約在 51~76mm（ 2~3 英寸）之間的鋼制空心圓柱體。通過手輪和螺桿，尾座套筒可以在尾座體中縱向移入和移出幾個(gè)英寸。 8 車床的規(guī)格用兩個(gè)尺寸表示。第一個(gè)稱為車床的床
