BARON MAX KL-2680 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 23.6-inch swing diameter and a maximum machining length of 59 inches, enabling the handling of medium-sized workpieces with precision. It is controlled by the Fagor 8055TC CNC system, which supports up to 3 axes and offers a full set of canned machining cycles such as turning, facing, taper turning, milling, drilling, boring, reaming, and threading. The control allows for programmable spindle speeds with gear range selection, enabling optimization of torque and speed depending on machining requirements through up to four spindle speed ranges. The system integrates high-speed RS232 and USB communication ports for program uploading and off-line programming capabilities. It also features a high-speed embedded PLC with multiple inputs/outputs to coordinate machine functions. The Fagor 8055TC provides advanced functionalities such as tool calibration and inspection cycles, retrace and tangential control for maintaining tool angle, and RTCP for complex profile machining. Feedback inputs facilitate precise spindle and axis control, while the unit supports up to 7 axes and 2 spindles in expanded configurations. Additional features include an alphanumeric keyboard, background editing, multiple operating modes (execution, single block, MDI/teach-in, jog/manual), and override control for feedrate and spindle speeds. The system supports automatic voltage sensing (85-265VAC single phase) and includes safety functions such as spindle range change control and block execution synchronization for smooth operation. Overall, this unit combines robust mechanical capabilities with a flexible and advanced CNC control architecture suitable for versatile manufacturing tasks.
