CNC lathes with Y axes and driven tools are machine-tools with complex kinematic. Using CAM techniques to program these machines is a cumbersome process and could easily lead to collisions. Collisions may occur not only between tools and workpiece but also between the mobile elements of the CNC lathe. While CAM software package can identify the first type of collisions, for the second type supplementary measures must be taken. This work presents the build of a kinematic model of such a CNC lathe and how can the CAM techniques be improved by using this model.
