DMG CTX-400 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a precision CNC turning center equipped with a 10-inch chuck and capable of machining cylindrical workpieces up to 11.42 inches in diameter with a maximum turning length of 25.19 inches between centers. The machine features a 3.11-inch spindle bore and operates at a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, suitable for both finishing and roughing operations on various materials. The X-axis travel of 8.34 inches provides adequate cross-slide movement for radial machining operations, while the Z-axis travel of 25.19 inches enables longitudinal cutting along the workpiece axis. With a 2.83-inch bar capacity, the lathe supports automatic feeding of material stock for high-efficiency production runs. The machine is equipped with a 12-position tool turret, allowing rapid tool changes for multi-operation machining without manual intervention. Control is managed by a Heidenhain CNC control system, providing advanced programming capabilities and precision control for complex part geometries. The tailstock is equipped, enabling support for longer workpieces and drilling operations. An integrated chip conveyor system facilitates efficient chip removal, minimizing downtime and reducing manual cleanup. The maximum swing over bed of 19.68 inches accommodates larger diameter workpieces when necessary. This configuration makes the machine suitable for producing precision turned components in aerospace, medical, automotive, and general manufacturing applications where tight tolerances and repeatability are essential.
