Capstan Lathe vs Turret Lathe – Tabular Comparison
| Feature | Capstan Lathe | Turret Lathe |
| Purpose | Small to medium batch production | Medium to large batch production |
| Turret Mounting | On a sliding ram fixed to a stationary saddle | On a moving saddle |
| Workpiece Length | Suitable for short-length jobs | Handles longer-length workpieces |
| Saddle Movement | Saddle remains stationary | Saddle travels with the turret |
| Tool Indexing | Hexagonal turret | Square or round turret |
| Power Handling | Lower power and torque | Higher power and torque handling |
| Flexibility | Less flexible, simpler design | More flexible, supports complex operations |
| Operator Skill | Requires moderate skill | May require higher skill depending on complexity |
| Typical Use | Repetitive parts like bolts, bushings | Larger and longer jobs like shafts, heavy fittings |
We manufacture semi-automatic capstan lathe machines designed to enhance efficiency for our customers, making them ideal for batch production and small-lot operations. Our Pathak capstan lathes are high-performance machines that excel in turning, drilling, boring, facing, and threading, all powered by a complete Norton gearbox. Capstan lathes are ideal for fast production of small parts using a stationary saddle and sliding turret.
Key Features
| Turret Head: Enables mounting of multiple tools for sequential operations (e.g., drilling, reaming, boring, tapping). |
| Semi-Automatic Feed: Fast and efficient for medium-scale repetitive tasks. |
| Short Length Production: Ideal for small workpieces due to a fixed saddle and sliding ram. |
| Tool Indexing: Quick-change turret improves machining cycle times. |
| Production Efficiency: Reduces downtime and increases throughput compared to conventional lathes. |
