CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc Delivers Stable Brake Disc Turning and Superior Accuracy
The video captures the LYV‑500 CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc in full operation as it performs rough and finish turning on automotive brake discs. The footage focuses exclusively on the actual cutting process, allowing viewers to appreciate how the machine maintains precision, stability, and efficiency during real production cycles.
Purpose‑built for automotive brake discs and hubs, the CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc adopts a thermally symmetric box‑ribbed cast‑iron bed and column to minimize heat distortion and vibration. Both X and Z axes use a wide‑span arrangement with enlarged, imported high‑precision linear guides and ball screws, significantly improving machining accuracy and structural stiffness. This robust configuration supports heavy‑duty cutting and ensures consistent results for all disc‑shaped components.
Engineered as a high‑precision, high‑load vertical CNC lathe, the CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc employs an X‑axis moving‑column structure optimized to reduce thermal deformation and enhance damping capability. This design increases cutting stability and supports a combination of high accuracy, high speed, and high rigidity. Its modern protective enclosure offers a clean, safe, and environmentally friendly workspace—well suited for high‑speed turning in mechanical and automotive industries requiring demanding precision standards.
The reinforced base, cast integrally from high‑tension iron and strengthened with thermal‑flow balance technology, provides durable rigidity to withstand years of continuous operation. The main‑spindle assembly features a high‑rigidity bearing configuration: NSK NN30‑series double‑row cylindrical roller bearings at both ends and a pair of 130BAR angular‑contact thrust bearings with 30‑degree contact angles in the front. This carefully engineered combination supports the spindle dynamically, giving it high rotation accuracy, long lifespan, low heat generation, and stable performance under prolonged heavy load.
Both X and Y feed axes use precision double‑nut preloaded ball screws with a dual‑support locking design. This arrangement eliminates transmission backlash and compensates in advance for temperature‑induced deviations, enabling the CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc to maintain consistent positioning accuracy even in high‑speed operations. Grease‑lubricated spindle bearings ensure low maintenance and coherent lubrication, keeping rotational precision for long production cycles.
The lathe can be equipped with an imported high‑rigidity hydraulic turret that provides quick, reliable tool changes and excellent repeat positioning. Its numerical‑control system—the KND CNC system—offers powerful functions optimized for high‑speed, high‑accuracy machining. Absolute‑value servo motors drive all feed axes for smooth operation and precise response. These features combine to create a compact, intelligent, and stable solution that supports both automatic roughing and finishing of dual disc surfaces in a single setup.
The CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc also incorporates a fully enclosed inner guard with an armor‑type telescopic cover and stainless‑steel lining. The tight‑sealed design reduces dust leakage and prevents machining debris from entering joints, ensuring a cleaner environment and easier upkeep. Every machine is assembled to strict quality and torque‑control standards using imported gauges for calibration and fastening, guaranteeing accuracy and reliability from the ground up.
In practice, the LYV‑500 CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc proves ideal not only for brake discs but also for various disc‑ and shell‑type parts—including engine end covers, flywheels, gear blanks, bearing rings, and flanges. Its thermal‑balanced structure, precise feed drive, and high‑rigidity spindle system make it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking efficiency and repeatable precision in high‑volume production.
As the video illustrates, the cutting motion of the CNC Vertical Lathe for Brake Disc remains stable and smooth, reflecting the strength of its mechanical design and precision assembly. Combining dependable structure, advanced CNC control, and protective environmental design, Hengga Intelligent's LYV‑500 provides an integrated, productive, and sustainable solution for modern brake disc machining where accuracy, speed, and durability are essential.
