DRINNS LATHE WITH C-AXIS CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe represents a mid-range turning center engineered for versatile precision manufacturing applications. Equipped with a 15 HP spindle motor, the machine delivers robust cutting power across a broad operating range of 50 to 4,500 RPM, accommodating both heavy material removal and fine finishing operations. The 10-inch chuck provides secure workpiece clamping for a variety of part geometries and sizes. The machine's turning diameter capacity of 15.7 inches, paired with a maximum machining length of 21.7 inches, enables production of small to medium-sized cylindrical and stepped components. The included tailstock supports extended workpiece configurations, enhancing rigidity during through-hole drilling and long-part turning operations. The swing dimension of 15.7 inches reflects the radial clearance available for tool and workpiece manipulation. Precise dimensional control is facilitated by the integrated Siemens 810D CNC control system, which governs multi-axis motion and enables complex turning, boring, threading, and facing operations with repeatability tolerances as tight as ±0.0127 mm. The machine footprint of approximately 59.06 x 147.64 x 78.74 inches accommodates typical shop floor installations, while the 9,920 lbs structural mass provides the mechanical stability necessary for consistent part accuracy and extended tool life. This configuration positions the lathe as suitable for job shop work, production runs of medium-complexity parts, and aerospace or automotive component manufacturing where precision and reliability are essential performance criteria.
