Abstract
A lathe machine includes a turret having a saddle movable along a longitudinal direction toward a headstock, and a turret body mounted on the saddle and movable along a transverse direction on the saddle, and a tailstock having a bottom seat movable along the longitudinal direction toward the headstock, and a tailstock body mounted movably on the bottom seat. A first coupler unit is provided to couple releasably the saddle and the bottom seat so that the bottom seat can be driven by the saddle to move along the longitudinal direction toward the headstock. A second coupler unit is provided to couple releasably the turret body and the tailstock body so that the tailstock body can be driven by the turret body to move along the transverse direction.
Claims6
A lathe machine comprising:
- a bed;
- a headstock mounted fixedly on a front part of said bed for holding a workpiece;
- a turret including a saddle mounted on a rear part of said bed and movable along a longitudinal direction toward said headstock, and a turret body mounted on said saddle and movable along a transverse direction on said saddle;
- a tailstock including a bottom seat mounted on a rear part of said bed at one side of said saddle and movable along said longitudinal direction toward said headstock, a tailstock body mounted movably on said bottom seat, and a cutter disposed on a front end of said tailstock body and adapted to machine the workpiece;
- a first coupler unit to couple releasably said saddle and said bottom seat so that said bottom seat can be driven by said saddle to move along said longitudinal direction toward said headstock, said first coupler unit including a connecting seat provided on one of said saddle and said bottom seat, and a first plunger provided on the other one of said saddle and said bottom seat and being extendable retractably into said connecting seat;
- and
- a second coupler unit to couple releasably said turret body and said tailstock body so that said tailstock body can be driven by said turret body to move along said transverse direction, said second coupler unit including a magnetic attraction member provided on one of said turret body and said tailstock body, and a magnetically attractable member provided on the other one of said turret body and said tailstock body to be attracted by said magnetic attraction member.
