Technical Description
This CNC lathe features a 14-inch swing and 40-inch machining length, designed for precision turning applications in tool rooms and production environments. Equipped with a 5 HP spindle motor, it delivers robust performance for a wide range of materials, supporting maximum spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM for efficient metal removal and fine surface finishes. The machine operates on a 2-axis configuration, providing reliable control for turning, facing, grooving, threading, and cutoff operations. A tailstock is included to support longer workpieces and enhance machining accuracy. The lathe is controlled by the Centroid T400i CNC system, a powerful and user-friendly control known for its conversational programming, intuitive interface, and compatibility with standard G and M codes. The T400i features a 15-inch touch screen LCD, dedicated buttons for spindle and coolant control, and comprehensive override options for feedrate and spindle speed. It supports automatic profiling cycles, canned cycles for threading and grooving, and built-in G code editing with backplot and error checking. The control also offers toolpath graphics, spindle and axis load monitoring, and seamless integration with CAD/CAM systems. The machine’s design includes a sealed, coolant-resistant control panel with tactile feedback buttons, programmable auxiliary functions, and support for both manual and CNC operation. With its combination of power, precision, and advanced control, this lathe is ideal for shops seeking fast setup, high productivity, and consistent part quality.
