ACE DESIGNERS SLC-20 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on small to medium-sized workpieces. The machine features a 7.87-inch chuck size, providing secure workholding for bar stock up to 1.65 inches in diameter. With a maximum turning diameter of 5.91 inches and a swing capacity of 6.69 inches over the bed, this lathe is optimized for efficiently machining smaller components. The 14.75 hp spindle motor delivers sufficient cutting power for various materials, while the maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM enables rapid material removal and precise surface finishes on intricate workpieces. The 2-axis configuration (X and Z axes) allows for standard turning operations including facing, threading, and taper cutting. Control is managed by a FANUC 0i-Mate TD CNC system, a reliable and user-friendly control platform known for its intuitive interface and advanced programming capabilities. This combination of specifications makes the machine suitable for job shop environments and small-batch production runs where versatility and precision are essential. The relatively compact footprint and moderate power requirements make it an economical choice for shops with space and electrical limitations. Standard features typically include an automatic lubrication system, coolant delivery, work lighting, and a manual turret configuration, supporting efficient operation with minimal operator intervention.
