History of lathe

In the middle of the XVI Jacques Besson (who died in 1569) invented a lathe for slicing the cylindrical and conical screws.

Andrei Konstantinovich Nartov (1693-1756)

At the beginning of XVIII century, Andrei Konstantinovich Nartov (1693-1756) invented the original screw-cutting lathe and copier with mechanized carriage and a set of replacement gears. To untruly understand the global significance of these inventions, will return to the evolution of lathe.

XVIII century

At the beginning of the XVIII century lathes are increasingly used for cutting metal, not wood, and therefore the problem of hard attaching the cutter and move it along machined surface of the table is very important. And now for the first time the problem self-propelled carriage was successfully accomplished in Mortisers A.K Nartova

A.K Nartov

The second half of the XVIII century the machine tool industry was marked by a sharp increase the scope of machine tools and a satisfactory scheme universal lathe that could be used in various purposes.

1718-1729

A. Nartov not only solved the problem of mechanization of this operation, but in the years 1718-1729 he perfected the scheme of the photocopier finger and brought into the caliper movement of a spindle, but with a different step by cutting the bit and under copier.

1751In 1751 M. Vokanson France

built the machine, which according to its Technical data is like a universal. It was made of metal, had a strong stand, two metal centers, two V-shaped guides form, copper slide, providing mechanized movement tool in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

French engineer Hay

In 1795, French engineer Hay produced a specialized lathe machine for cutting screws. Designer provided a removable gear, large lead screw, a simple mechanized support.

Created a screw-cutting lathe with a Created a screw-cutting lathe with a mechanized carriage (1797), mechanized carriage (1797), mechanized production of screws, mechanized production of screws, nuts, etc. The early years were spent nuts, etc. The early years were spent in Woolwich near London.in Woolwich near London.

In 1835, the D. Whitworth invented the In 1835, the D. Whitworth invented the automatic feeding in the transverse automatic feeding in the transverse direction which was associated with direction which was associated with the mechanism of the longitudinal the mechanism of the longitudinal feed. This was completed fundamental feed. This was completed fundamental improvement of the turning equipmentimprovement of the turning equipment

nineteenth centurynineteenth century

In the second half of the nineteenth century. In the second half of the nineteenth century. quality of American machinery was already quality of American machinery was already high. Machines produced in series, and high. Machines produced in series, and enter the full interchangeability of parts enter the full interchangeability of parts and units produced by one firm. In case of and units produced by one firm. In case of breakage parts was enough to write with a breakage parts was enough to write with a similar plant, and replace broken detail on similar plant, and replace broken detail on the whole, without any adjustment.the whole, without any adjustment.

XIX century

In the second half of the nineteenth century elements to ensure complete mechanization - block ADF in both coordinates, perfect system of fixing the tool and parts were introduced.

S. Fitch in 1845 designed S. Fitch in 1845 designed and built a turret lathe and built a turret lathe eight cutting tools in the eight cutting tools in the turret. Speed of change turret. Speed of change tools dramatically tools dramatically increased the increased the productivity of the productivity of the machine in the machine in the manufacture of serial manufacture of serial production. It was a big production. It was a big step toward the creation step toward the creation of automatic machines.of automatic machines.
