CHEVALIER FCL-2460 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe is a versatile precision turning machine engineered for mid-range production environments. The 12-inch chuck accommodates workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 21.5 inches and swing of 24 inches, providing substantial capacity for diverse components. With a 60-inch machining length and automatic tailstock support, the machine handles extended shaft and pipe applications effectively. The 20 HP spindle motor delivers robust cutting performance across a speed range up to 1,800 RPM, enabling efficient material removal for both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 3.15-inch bar capacity allows for automatic stock feeding in high-volume production scenarios, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing manual intervention. Equipped with the Anilam 4200 T programmable CNC control system, this lathe offers precise tool path programming and repeatability essential for complex turned parts. The dual-axis configuration (X and Z) enables controlled radial and longitudinal tool movement, making it suitable for creating symmetrical components with tight tolerances. This machine achieves precision levels suitable for aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing applications. The combination of substantial spindle power, extended machining length, and dependable automatic features positions this lathe as an economical choice for shops requiring reliable production of mid-scale precision components without the complexity of multi-axis systems.
