Lathe Center Market – Introduction
- Lathe center is a machine tool used for accurate positioning of a work piece about its axis between a head stock spindle and tailstock spindle. Lathe centers are used to manufacture cylindrical shapes from different range of materials such as plastics and steels. The lathe center can be operated by a person or operated automatically by a machine.
Key Drivers of the Lathe Center Market
- Many industries make use of lathe centers for fabricating parts and features that have a circular cross section. Automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, electronics, mining, and ship building are some of the industries using a lathe center. It is also a very common tool used by steel and plastic manufacturers. This increases the demand for lathe centers and helps in the growth of the market.
- Lathe centers are widely used in construction. They are used on wood, metal, and other common construction material. Increase in construction activities across the globe is helping in the growth of the lathe center market.
Factors Restraining the Lathe Center Market
- Lathe centers can perform diverse operations, but only one tool can be used at a time and the idle time between the operations is high. Also, the preciseness of the job performed with a lathe center depends largely on the skills of the operator. Further, the Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the lathe center market. Factories and manufacturing plants were closed due to lockdown and supply chains were disrupted because of lack of raw materials which hampered the growth of the lathe center market.
