CHEVALIER FBL-230MC CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe is a precision turning machine equipped with a FANUC 0i-T control system, designed for efficient production of medium-sized components. The machine features a 21.6-inch swing diameter over the bed, allowing machining of workpieces up to that size, while the 12.7-inch maximum machining length accommodates a diverse range of part geometries. The 8-inch chuck provides reliable workholding capacity for standard bar stock, with a maximum bar capacity of 2.04 inches, making it suitable for automatic feeding operations on smaller diameter materials. Powered by a robust 20 hp spindle motor, the machine delivers adequate cutting force for various materials and operations. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 3,500 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across different cutting conditions and material types. The FANUC 0i-T CNC control system offers sophisticated programming capabilities, real-time monitoring, and precise axis coordination for repeatable accuracy. This combination of specifications positions the lathe as an ideal solution for job shops and small-to-medium manufacturing facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities with modern computer numerical control. The machine's mid-range capacity and power output balance productivity with precision, suitable for production runs and prototype development in automotive, aerospace, and general mechanical component manufacturing.
