Gear Head Lathe Machine

Similar to the automotive engine analogy, a gearhead headstock, like a manual transmission, is more inexpensive. This type of lathe uses a gearbox driven by a fixed speed electric motor with a selection of gear ratios to select spindle speed. An EVS headstock is driven by an inverter drive motor.An all geared headstock is more complicated than an ordinary belt-driven headstock. It is equipped with gears which can be used to adjust the speed of the headstock thereby enabling a convenient operation of the machine to carry out a specific task with the required speed.
