What is a machine tool?
A machine tool is fabrication machinery that helps to manufacture things. This often involves some form of cutting of shearing to get the piece to the desired size and shape.
They can either work manually or automatically (these are called CNC machine tools).
What equipment classes as a machine tool?
All sorts of equipment falls under machine tools.
Such as machines for metalworking applications before welding takes place.
These include saws and shears for cutting, as well as hoisting equipment and riveting machines.
As well as:
-
Guillotines
- Press brakes
-
Bending Rolls
- Bandsaws
- Drills
- Grinders
-
Lathes
-
Milling machine tools
Why are machine tools needed?
Cutting tools are necessary to get the metal to size before welding takes place. Whilst hoisting equipment can help to hold the metal while it is being worked on.
Some cutting equipment reduces down time and increases efficiency of the metalworking process. Thus getting the job out quicker, saving time and money.
Bending rolls are also a key part of the metalworking process.
Applications include tank and vessel fabrication, both on a large scale and smaller, cylindrical work pieces.
