Copying Lathe
a machine used for the reproduction of plane and curved surfaces from a master (template, pattern, model, or blueprint) on products made of various materials. Copying lathes are made for plane, contour, three-dimensional, and combined profiling with a mechanical, hydraulic, electric, or photoelectric servomechanism or without a servomechanism. The main assembly of a copying lathe is a duplicating device. Copying milling machines are widely used in metalworking; lathes and milling machines are used in woodworking. Many all-purpose lathes (such as turning lathes) are also equipped with a duplicating device. Copying lathes are used in series and mass production of patterned furniture pieces, complex casting patterns, profiled cams, eccentrics, templates, and matrices. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
