PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Brief­­

The woodturning equipment for sale here is a fully automatic wood lathe machine with configuration of auto feed system, one cutter head and one broaching (engraving) head. Autofeed is the biggest advantage of this lathe, with this mechanism, manual loading and unloading is not required any more. Instead of that, it is completely done by itself in auto mode, which increases productivity greatly and saves labor resource for you. In fact, this is the whole point of a truely automatic wood turning machine.

Demo Video: How EagleTec Automatic Wood Lathe Machine Works

You will understand clearly how the auto feed system works from this video. The demo here shows the complete machining process, from wood turn blank feed to the finished job. I hope you enjoy it!


Q: How many pieces can be turned per hour with the fully automatic wood lathe here?

A: It depends. To answer this question, we have to consider the product length, the wood blank dimension (depending on how many times of stepdown are required), and raw material property (depending on feed speed). Let’s illustrate with an example here; assuming the product is 600mm long, the material is beechwood, and one time stepdown is enough to complete the turning, such being the case, we can run the turning at a speed of 1,200mm/min. It is calculated that the pure turning process takes 30 seconds. Except for turning, auto loading and motor starts actions will take approximately 30 seconds. So we can see that it takes 1 minute to complete 1 piece from beginning to end. And one hour gets 60 pieces. The speed here refers to the one that gets a good quality finish.

Advantages of EagleTec Automatic Wood Lathes

• Whole lathe base is cast in one piece from iron, and this structure is obviously superior to the welded one in rigidity and reliability. All foundation planes are finished through a CNC Mill, not hand-made jobs, to get good accuracy. 

• Self-feeder with an air-actuated clamping system improves the wood-turning output greatly. Additionally, this automatic hopper feed mechanism reduces labor resources, in turn, which reduces labor costs for you. Below are pictures of it.
