BARDONS & OLIVER 2SC-18 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features an 18-inch chuck size and supports bar stock up to 3 inches in diameter, enabling precise machining of moderate-sized workpieces. It operates on a 2-axis system, controlling movement along the X (cross) and Z (longitudinal) axes, allowing for efficient turning operations with a machining length of up to 20.5 inches. The machine delivers a powerful 50 hp spindle motor driving the spindle at a maximum speed of 1,518 RPM, suitable for a wide range of materials and turning speeds. The maximum turning diameter is 18 inches, with a swing capacity of 29 inches, providing ample clearance for sizable components. The control system is based on the GE FANUC 18I CNC platform, known for its accuracy and reliability in industrial turning centers. This setup allows for automated, repeatable turning processes, enhancing productivity and consistency. Overall, the lathe combines robust power, moderate size capacity, and reliable 2-axis CNC control, making it well-suited for precision turning of shafts, rods, and other cylindrical parts within its size range.
