Automatic lathe part forming is a manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled automatic lathes to shape and modify metal parts through cutting, drilling, threading, forming and other operations.

Automatic lathes use clamps to hold and rotate the part while the cutting tool is applied to shape or modify its structure

A variety of parts can be deformed: shafts, tubes, rivets and custom parts for machinery and equipment.

Advantages include high precision, rapid production, manufacturing repeatability, the ability to handle a wide range of materials, and the ability to work with complex designs.

Materials such as steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other materials compatible with the cutting and shaping process can be deformed.

Automatic lathes are controlled by either cams or computer (CNC) and can perform more complex operations autonomously, while manual lathes require manual operator intervention at every stage of the process.

Accuracy can vary by machine, but in general, automatic lathes can achieve high levels of accuracy.

It is important to consider tolerance, material, part shape and size, as well as tooling and machine settings to achieve the desired results.

It depends on the specifications of the part, the quantity required, the precision needed and the economic viability. Consulting experts in deformation with automatic lathes is essential to make the best decision.
