This is the definitive 3D drawing for a CNC Lathe Housing, a critical component for any turning center. This full machine enclosure, often called a “housing” or “guarding,” is the primary safety and containment system for a CNC lathe. Its main purpose is to provide complete protection for the operator from high-velocity swarf, broken tooling, and the splash of high-pressure coolant, which are all common hazards in modern turning operations.

This CAD model provides a complete, fabrication-ready blueprint for a robust lathe enclosure. It is an essential asset for machine tool manufacturers, system integrators, and DIY CNC builders. Use this 3D model to manufacture a professional-grade housing from sheet metal. The drawing details the structural frame, sliding access doors, mounting points for safety-glass or polycarbonate windows, and provisions for cable/coolant line routing.

Having an accurate 3D model is vital for planning the integration of all machine components. It allows you to verify clearances for the spindle, chuck, and tool turret, and to plan the location of the control panel (HMI) and internal lighting.

Ключевые особенности:

  • Operator Safety Design: Engineered for maximum protection, this housing is designed to fully contain all chips, swarf, and coolant spray within the work area.
  • Fabrication-Ready Model: This is a detailed sheet metal design, complete with bend lines and structural supports, ready for laser cutting, bending, and welding. *Full Accessibility: The model includes a large sliding door (or optional hinged doors) to provide unobstructed access to the lathe chuck, tooling, and work area for setup and maintenance.
  • Component Integration: Features designed-in provisions for mounting polycarbonate viewing windows, a control panel arm, internal lighting, and cable/coolant gland plates.
  • Coolant Management: The base of the housing is designed as a sloped pan to efficiently channel used coolant and chips to a filtration system or collection tank.
