AMCO SK50 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

A precision CNC lathe engineered for versatile turning operations and high-efficiency production. This machine features a robust bar capacity of 3 inches, accommodating standard bar stock for automated or manual feeding applications. The maximum spindle speed of 2,650 RPM enables efficient machining across diverse materials, allowing operators to optimize cutting speeds for various workpiece compositions and surface finishes. The turning diameter specification of 11.8 inches defines the maximum radial cutting distance perpendicular to the spindle axis, determining the scale of cylindrical features that can be produced. With a swing measurement of 19.7 inches—indicating the largest workpiece diameter capable of rotating over the bed—this lathe accommodates mid-range component sizes typical in general manufacturing applications. The machine is equipped with advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, providing programmable automation and precise axis control for repeatable, high-accuracy machining operations. This control system enables complex turning sequences, including longitudinal and radial movements, without manual intervention between cuts. Standard accessories typically include a motorized spindle with variable frequency drive (VFD), manual turret tooling system, tailstock support, coolant circulation system, and automatic lubrication. The combination of specifications makes this lathe suitable for producing shafts, bushings, and other turned components requiring consistent tolerances and moderate production volumes. The CNC integration enhances productivity by reducing setup time and operator involvement while maintaining dimensional precision throughout production runs.
