The Kent Industrial USA CSC-18 Series is a precision CNC lathe featuring a horizontal spindle orientation with universal machine styling designed for both CNC and manual operation. Equipped with a single main spindle, the machine delivers a maximum turning diameter of 10.000 inches and accommodates bar stock up to 2.560 inches in diameter. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM with 15 horsepower continuous output, providing sufficient cutting power for precision turning applications. The machine offers a distance between centers of either 38 or 57 inches with a 12-inch bed width, enabling extended workpiece lengths and versatile machining configurations. The CSC-18 utilizes a 2-axis CNC control system with an ASA A2-6 spindle nose interface, equipped with four tool stations for efficient tool changes. While the specifications indicate three-axis travel parameters, the machine's 2-axis control focuses on primary X and Z-axis movement for precision turning operations. The Fagor 8055i CNC controller provides intuitive operation and flexibility for both single-piece and series production work. With its compact footprint and robust construction, the CSC-18 Series serves as an ideal solution for job shops, tool rooms, and production facilities requiring dependable precision turning capabilities for prototyping through small-to-medium production runs.
