BARON MAX KL-1860 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 18-inch swing capacity and a maximum machining length of 58.9 inches, providing versatility for medium-sized turning operations. It is controlled by the Fagor 8055TC CNC system, which supports up to 3 axes and offers a wide range of advanced functionalities such as canned cycles for turning, facing, and taper turning with 2-level options for each cycle type. The control incorporates a fully alphanumeric keyboard and multiple communication ports including RS-232, RS-422, and USB for easy program upload and integration with offline programming systems. The Fagor 8055TC allows precise spindle speed programming and control, supporting up to four spindle speed ranges with gear selection synchronized between the CNC and the machine’s PLC. The system enables features like spindle orientation (M19), spindle synchronization, and tangential control for maintaining tool angles during complex profiling. High-speed servo communication and enhanced feedrate override controls improve machining accuracy and efficiency. Additional capabilities include tool inspection and automatic/manual tool calibration cycles that reduce operator intervention, as well as a high-speed integrated PLC with 16 inputs and 8 outputs. The control offers extensive program editing, conversational programming modes, and supports repeat and subroutine functions, enabling flexible and productive machining. Feedrate can be finely adjusted from 0.00001 to 7900 inches per minute, allowing for precision machining. Overall, this setup combines robust mechanical capacity with a sophisticated CNC control ideal for complex turning applications requiring precision and productivity.
