ALEX-TECH VT-28B CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a mid-range CNC lathe featuring a swing diameter of 26.72 inches, enabling machining of parts up to 18.4 inches in maximum turning diameter. The machine accommodates bar stock up to 3.42 inches in diameter, making it suitable for medium-sized workpieces and production runs. With a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM, the lathe delivers efficient turning operations across various materials, balancing speed with precision for intricate designs. The machining length of 21.6 inches provides substantial longitudinal capacity for longer shaft and pipe production, allowing versatility in workpiece dimensioning. The integrated tailstock enables support of extended workpieces, enhancing rigidity and machining accuracy for complex turned operations. As a CNC-controlled machine, it operates via Computer Numerical Control, providing automated precision, repeatability, and reduced setup times compared to manual equipment. This configuration typically features a standard 2-axis system (X and Z axes) with a fixed turret position, though optional enhancements may include Y-axis capability for off-center operations or milling attachments. The machine is classified as a general-purpose turning center suitable for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring reliable medium-capacity machining with consistent tolerances and efficient part throughput.
