CHALLENGER BNC-1860 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features an X-travel of 10.20" and a Z-travel of 59.10", providing substantial movement for precision turning operations. The maximum swing over the bed is 18.00", allowing for the machining of larger diameter workpieces, while the maximum turning/cutting length reaches 60.00" to accommodate extended parts. The machine supports a maximum cutting/turning diameter of 18.70" and a bar capacity of 2.00", making it suitable for a wide range of cylindrical components. The spindle bore measures 2.55", enabling the processing of bar stock up to this diameter. The spindle operates at speeds up to 4,500 RPM, driven by a robust 15 HP spindle motor, ensuring efficient material removal and high productivity. The tool turret offers 8 positions, allowing for versatile tooling setups and reduced changeover times. The machine is equipped with a Fagor CNC control system, providing reliable and user-friendly operation for complex machining tasks. This configuration is ideal for high-precision turning applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing, delivering accuracy, repeatability, and flexibility for a variety of part geometries and materials.
