Wood Lathe Copy Turning Tracing System

Copy turning is carried out on special lathes that control the cutting tool in some manner to produce identical items. The copy lathe uses a template to guide the cutter. They are capable of creating good quality components for little expense in patterns and setting up.The machine employs a dust-proof electrical system. The hopper feeder is hydraulic operated, while the tailstock center is hydraulically operated to clamp the workpiece. A guide ring supports the workpiece firmly while cutting to ensure the maximum stability and accuracy of operation.Hydro-copying units are extensively used in automatic lathes to turn the contours on a work piece to the profiles of a template. The tracer (or stylus) of the copying unit operates a hydraulic valve in a hydraulic system.
