Technical Description
This CNC lathe features a robust 15 HP main spindle, delivering reliable power for demanding turning operations, with a maximum spindle speed of 970 RPM to ensure efficient material removal and precision finishing. The machine offers a generous turning diameter of 57.09 inches and a machining length of 72.83 inches, making it suitable for large workpieces commonly found in heavy-duty manufacturing environments. Equipped with the Siemens SINUMERIK 802D sl CNC control system, the lathe provides advanced operator functionality, including a large, easy-to-read color display, intuitive softkey navigation, and a full CNC keyboard for seamless program input and machine operation. The control supports DIN/ISO G-code programming, extended G-functions, and powerful commands such as circular interpolation via intermediate point (CIP), as well as flexible work offset programming using TRANS, SCALE, MIRROR, and ROT functions. The integrated PLC, based on SIMATIC S7-200 with ladder logic programming, ensures reliable automation and machine logic control. The system allows up to 4 interpolating axes and one spindle, with digital drive technology via DRIVE-CLiQ for dynamic and precise axis movements. Additional features include graphical cycle support for faster part programming, extensive program control structures (IF, GOTO), and access to system variables such as tool offsets and axis positions. The machine control panel (MCP) provides feed and spindle override controls, enhancing operator convenience and process optimization. This combination of high power, large capacity, and advanced CNC control makes the lathe ideal for versatile, high-precision turning applications in industrial settings.
