Conversion of a Conventional Lathe Machine into a "Semi Automatic CNC Machine"
Abstract
Turning, milling, and drilling, among other operations, are performed on conventional lathes in small workshops or industries. These operations are being performed by new modern technologies such as computer software, hardware, and firm wares in industries on a daily basis. CNC machines are required for greater accuracy and superior finishing. As a result, CNC machines are becoming more important these days. This is beneficial to modernised industrialization. As a result, we must use retrofitting to convert our traditional lathe into a semi-automatic CNC machine for this modernization. As a result, this research paper investigates how to retrofit a conventional lathe to become a semi-automatic CNC machine. It is used for this purpose by replacing and adding some parts to a conventional lathe
