What is a record lathe?

Recording lathe is a piece of equipment that the technician can use to reduce the record, either a single cut for a customer who wants a single record or an oak plate for a recording company that can be used in mass production. The recording lathe connects to the sound device and drags the cutting tool over the recording surface and converts the sound into the groove. When the record is placed on the record player, the needle reads the groove and reproduces the sound. For professional lathes, it is usually necessary for high -quality record production and the ability to create oak plates. The costs may vary and the equipment is only as good as the operator; An experienced operator can clean and clarify the music compositions to improve quality and reduce an excellent record. On the contrary, an unskilled operator can turn a good track to poorly operate the lathe wrong.

Recording lathes are used with varnish and acetate plates, not vinyl records. Vinyl boards are produced in a forming process that begins to seeRobou oak boards. The oak board becomes a form template and records are made by injection of heated vinyl into the mold. It extends and corresponds to the grooves. The technician can check to make sure the record has no shortcomings and then pack it for sale and delivery.

The cutting head on the record lathe must be in excellent condition and is necessary to regularly replace or solve worn components. Problems with cutting head will be reflected in problems with records created on this lathe. Before the technician begins to produce a plate, he usually carefully inspects all devices to make sure he is in good operating condition. The board is expensive and the technicians want to avoid errors that force them to discard plates.

In companies where records are recorded, it is sometimes possible to see the record of the record in action. Some companies offer inspections to public or customers and allow them to monitor the process. In fact, cutting the record does not last too long but the process set upOutline requires careful attention to details to reduce the chance of mistakes. Turnover on the customer's order can take several days, especially in a busy device.
