BOCHI SK40P CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe represents a mid-range turning machine designed for versatile production work. The 3-inch bar capacity enables efficient processing of round stock material, making it suitable for manufacturing components from solid material without requiring pre-formed blanks. The 15.75-inch turning diameter provides adequate capacity for small to medium-sized workpieces, allowing operators to machine parts with reasonable dimensional scope while maintaining precision. The machine's 15.75-inch swing specification indicates the maximum diameter of workpiece that can rotate freely around the spindle axis, a critical measurement for determining overall workpiece size compatibility. This swing dimension aligns with the turning diameter, indicating a well-balanced design for standard turning operations. The CNC control system automates the machining process, enabling programmable tool paths, consistent repeatability, and reduced operator intervention compared to manual lathes. This computer numerical control capability facilitates production of complex geometries, multiple identical parts, and maintains tight tolerances across production runs. This lathe configuration is well-suited for job shops, contract manufacturers, and small-to-medium production facilities requiring flexibility in workpiece handling. The specifications support applications including shaft machining, pulley production, bushing manufacturing, and similar cylindrical component fabrication. The combination of adequate bar capacity and moderate swing diameter provides an efficient balance between material handling capability and machine footprint, making this machine practical for facilities with space constraints while maintaining sufficient capacity for diverse manufacturing applications.
