BARDONS & OLIVER 2SC-15 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 15-inch chuck size and a bar capacity of 3 inches, enabling it to handle moderate-sized cylindrical workpieces. It operates on 2 axes (X and Z), providing precise control over diameter and length during turning operations. Powered by a 50 HP motor, the lathe achieves a maximum spindle speed of 1,518 RPM, delivering sufficient torque and power for a variety of machining tasks. The maximum turning diameter is 17 inches with a swing of 29 inches, allowing for the machining of larger diameter parts. It supports a maximum machining length of 20.5 inches, suitable for medium-length components. The machine is controlled by a GE FANUC 18I CNC system, known for reliable computerized numerical control to execute precise, repeatable cutting operations. With overall dimensions of 200" length, 130" width, and 94" height, and weighing 20,000 lbs, it is a robust industrial-grade lathe designed for heavy-duty machining. This setup is ideal for manufacturing applications requiring consistent accuracy, repeatability, and moderate complexity in part geometry, such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering components. The 2-axis CNC control enables efficient turning, facing, and threading, while the substantial spindle power ensures capability for cutting tougher materials. Overall, this lathe balances power, size, and CNC precision for versatile mid-range cylindrical machining needs.
