FAQs:
1. What makes Alpha lathe machines “precision” grade?
They use hardened and ground guideways, low-runout spindles, and precision lead screws to maintain sub-0.01 mm accuracy in turning operations.
2. Can Alpha lathe machines be upgraded to CNC later?
Yes. Selected models are CNC-ready, meaning you can install servo motors, PLCs, and control panels without changing the base structure.
3. What is the role of DRO in manual lathes?
DRO (Digital ReadOut) systems improve dimensional accuracy by providing real-time X/Z axis readings, reducing measurement errors.
4. Is operator training provided?
Alpha provides detailed manuals, online tutorials, and remote video sessions for international customers.
5. Can these machines work 24/7 under industrial load?
Yes. With proper lubrication and routine maintenance, Alpha lathes are capable of continuous operation in demanding production settings.
