COLCHESTER 350 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a 7.87-inch chuck size and a 1.97-inch bar capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of cylindrical workpieces. Designed as a 2-axis machine, it provides precise control along the X and Z axes for efficient turning operations. The lathe is powered by a 7.5 hp motor, delivering ample torque for demanding machining tasks, and achieves a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM for high productivity and fine surface finishes. With a maximum turning diameter of 9.84 inches and a swing of 15.75 inches, the machine accommodates larger diameter parts while maintaining accuracy and rigidity. The machining length extends up to 13.78 inches, allowing for the production of longer components. Equipped with a tailstock, the lathe ensures secure support for extended workpieces during machining, enhancing precision and reducing deflection. The machine is controlled by a FANUC OT-C CNC system, providing reliable automation, user-friendly programming, and consistent repeatability for high-volume production runs. This configuration is ideal for general-purpose turning applications, including shafts, bushings, and custom fittings, where accuracy, efficiency, and versatility are essential.
