IME, this is a bit of an uphill battle, sadly.
Basically, lots of tools can request/cause some kind of "screen
blanking" so you can never be sure you've disabled all of them.
Assuming you have a very vanilla installation, I'd look at
the XFCE power manager settings where you can turn off the "display
power management".
Another option might be to set the "presentation mode" when the lathe is
in use. You can do that manually by right-clicking on the power icon in
the tray (assuming you have enabled "System tray icon" in the XFCE power
manager settings) but that can be done programatically as well (I hope
someone here can tell us how).
