CUBIC STS-60J CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The 3-Axis CNC Lathe represents a versatile turning solution designed for mid-range manufacturing applications. Equipped with three linear axes (X, Y, and Z), this machine expands capabilities beyond basic 2-axis models by introducing a Y-axis that enables off-center milling operations and machining of more complex geometries. The system features a substantial 6-inch chuck with a maximum bar capacity of 2.36 inches, accommodating a wide range of workpiece sizes for precision turning operations. Powered by a robust 10.5 hp spindle motor, the lathe delivers a maximum rotational speed of 3,500 RPM, providing adequate cutting velocity for various material grades and finishing requirements. The FANUC 0i-TF CNC control system ensures precise dimensional accuracy and repeatability, offering advanced programming capabilities and operator flexibility for complex machining sequences. This configuration makes the machine suitable for producing mechanical components, industrial parts, and precision-turned elements requiring multi-directional tool access. The combination of substantial spindle power and moderate speed range optimizes performance for both roughing and finishing operations. The 3-axis capability eliminates the need for multiple setups on many parts, reducing cycle times and improving throughput. The machine's specifications position it within the mid-to-heavy-duty segment, capable of handling production runs while maintaining tight tolerances. The FANUC control provides seamless integration with modern manufacturing environments and CAM programming systems, making it an effective solution for job shops and production facilities requiring reliable, high-performance turning capabilities with enhanced versatility over traditional 2-axis lathes.
