CUBIC PLG-42XL HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The CUBIC PLG-42XL is a precision CNC gang tool lathe engineered for high-production turning operations. This machine features a 6-inch turning diameter with a maximum turning length of 18.9 inches, accommodating a 1.65-inch bar capacity with a 6-inch hydraulic chuck. The spindle delivers 7.5 HP at 6,000 RPM, providing robust cutting power for efficient material removal. The gang slide tool carrier configuration enables rapid tool changes, supporting up to six turning tools and six rotary tools simultaneously, with single-point cutting capability to minimize cycle times and maximize productivity. The extended X-axis travel of 12.6 inches and 22.05-inch Z-axis travel distinguish the XL variant, allowing accommodation of longer workpieces and increased tool positioning flexibility compared to standard PLG-42 models. Both axes offer impressive rapid traverse rates of 629 ipm, significantly reducing non-cutting time. With 2-axis simultaneous control, the machine maintains exceptional positional accuracy of 0.0001 inches, meeting demanding tolerances for complex parts. The vertical plate design facilitates efficient chip and coolant evacuation, enhancing cooling efficiency and improving tool access. This configuration makes the PLG-42XL ideal for manufacturers requiring high-volume production of turned components with tight tolerances, combining speed, precision, and operational efficiency in a compact footprint.
