How to use CNC lathe to process SS304 stainless steel non-standard parts?

Recently, Client found Shanghai ANTS Machine Equipment Co.,Ltd; And the client needs to purchase a CNC lathe for processing a rotating sprinkler head. The work piece size required for processing is: 42*82*36mm.

Rotating sprinkler heads usually use the pressure of water flow or other power sources to make the internal structure of the sprinkler head produce a rotating motion. When water passes through the sprinkler head, under the action of the rotating mechanism, the water is sprayed out in a rotating manner to form a uniform water mist or water flow coverage. As shown in the figure:

According to the client’s needs, ANTISHICNC engineers successfully matched the customer with a CNC flat bed lathe – H32i model, with a maximum disc processing diameter of 320mm. The processing accuracy can reach T6 level. The following are the basic parameters of H32i:

Specifications	Unit	H32i
Max. Swing over Bed	mm	Φ320
Max. Swing over slide	mm	Φ70
Max. disc machining diameter	mm	Φ320
Max. turning length (with row cutter)	mm	280
Spindle through hole diameter	mm	Φ48
X-direction travel	mm	280
Z-direction travel	mm	330
Total mains power	KW	6

Shanghai ANTISHICNC engineers will introduce you to the detailed CNC lathe processing process:

1.CNC lathe rough turning: Perform rough turning operations to remove excess material and create a basic cylindrical shape.

2.CNC lathe precision turning: Perform precision turning operations to obtain the required size (42*82*36mm) and surface finish.

(1) End facing: Create a flat surface at the end of the bearing.

(2) Boring: Enlarge the hole or create an internal cylindrical surface.

(3) Grooving: Cut a groove for a retaining ring or seal.

(4) Finishing operation: Apply finishing cuts to achieve the final surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

3.CNC lathe quality control and inspection

(1) Dimension inspection: Use precision instruments (such as micrometers, calipers) to measure critical dimensions.

(2) Surface finish inspection: Check the surface roughness to ensure it meets the specifications.

(3) Hardness test: If the bearing material requires it, a hardness test is performed to ensure that the CNC lathe meets the mechanical performance specifications.

Next, the editor will introduce you to the common SS304 stainless steel non-standard parts. If you have any questions, please contact Shanghai ANTS Machine Equipment Co., Ltd. through our website information. Engineers will match you with efficient machine tools and provide professional services.
