Tooling is typically installed on a gang plate or a turret for production lathes.
Gang tooling
The simplest solution is pure gang tooling. On the cross slide of the lathe, the tools are arranged in a row in this way. To access a tool, move away from the workpiece along the spindle axis to prevent the tools from striking the workpiece, slide the X axis until the right tool is in place, and then move away from the workpiece along the Z axis to begin cutting.
The most straightforward solution for a CNC lathe is pure gang tooling. The cross-slide of the lathe has the tools arranged in a row. An end user follows these procedures to swap out a tool:
• Uses a Z-axis motion to pull the current tool away from the workpiece.
• Inserts X-axis slides until the new tool is in place.
•Starts cutting while moving along the Z-axis.
