ACE DESIGNERS SLC-16-LM-2S CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This compact CNC lathe represents a precision toolroom machine designed for small-part production and prototyping applications. With a maximum swing of 7.09 inches and turning diameter of 5.91 inches, it accommodates workpieces within the smaller to mid-range capacity. The machining length of 3.94 inches allows for relatively short components, making this lathe ideal for intricate, detailed parts requiring tight tolerances. The bar capacity of 0.98 inches indicates support for round stock feeding, enabling semi-automatic or automatic bar-fed operations for improved production efficiency. Powered by 10.04 horsepower, this machine delivers adequate cutting force for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM provides versatility across various material types and cutting conditions, from high-speed aluminum work to lower-speed steel operations. The CNC control system enables programmable operations, allowing for complex part geometries, multiple tool changes, and consistent repeatability without manual intervention. This lathe configuration falls within the precision toolroom category, comparable to mid-range production equipment. It is particularly well-suited for job shops, prototype development, and small-batch manufacturing where flexibility and accuracy are prioritized over large-volume production capacity. The combination of moderate swing diameter, compact machining envelope, and robust spindle power makes this machine effective for precision turned components, threaded fasteners, and complex multi-operation parts requiring CNC automation.
