CUBIC PLG-42L CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This compact CNC turning center features a 6-inch chuck with 1.65-inch bar capacity, delivering efficient small-to-medium part production capabilities. The machine operates on a 2-axis configuration, providing streamlined X and Z-axis control for precise turning operations. Powered by a robust 7.5 HP motor, the unit achieves a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, enabling high-speed finishing cuts and improved surface quality on precision components. The FANUC OMATEC-TC control system provides intuitive CNC programming and reliable automation for consistent repeatability. Designed with a rigid casting construction measuring 96 inches in length by 62 inches in width by 72 inches in height, this turning center maintains a relatively compact footprint while weighing 4,136 pounds, making it suitable for modern job shops and manufacturing facilities with space constraints. The machine's architecture emphasizes structural rigidity and vibration dampening, critical for achieving tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes. The combination of adequate spindle power and speed makes this unit versatile for various turning applications including facing, threading, grooving, and drilling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straightforward 2-axis design reduces maintenance requirements while delivering dependable performance for general-purpose production work, making it an economical solution for shops requiring reliable CNC turning capabilities without the complexity of multi-axis or live tooling systems.
