The Chevalier FBL-230 MC is a precision CNC slant-bed lathe engineered for high-efficiency turning and milling operations. Featuring a 45-degree slant-bed design with box ways, this machine provides exceptional rigidity and damping absorption for stable, vibration-free cutting performance. The horizontal spindle delivers a maximum turning diameter of 10.6 inches with a 14.3-inch maximum turning length, accommodating workpieces with bar stock up to 2.5 inches in diameter. The 8-inch chuck provides secure workholding for various component geometries. Powered by a 20 HP main spindle motor operating at 4,000 RPM, the machine delivers substantial cutting force across diverse material conditions. The MC variant incorporates live tooling capabilities, enabling secondary milling and drilling operations without repositioning the workpiece, maximizing productivity for complex geometries. Rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute across all axes—X, Y, and Z—minimize non-cutting time and enhance cycle efficiency. The machine employs a 12-station servo turret with tool changer technology for seamless tool transitions. The robust Meehanite cast iron base with torque tube structure resists deflection and provides superior damping during heavy machining operations. This configuration makes the FBL-230 MC ideal for automotive, aerospace, and precision component manufacturing where dimensional accuracy, surface finish quality, and production throughput are critical requirements.
