ECOCA MT-518MC/3100 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This industrial-grade CNC lathe represents a versatile precision machining solution designed for heavy-duty production environments. The machine features an 18-inch chuck capacity, accommodating a wide range of workpiece diameters for diverse manufacturing applications. With a maximum turning diameter of 28.7 inches and swing capacity of 39.4 inches, this lathe handles substantial components while maintaining tight tolerances typical of modern CNC systems. The robust 60 HP spindle motor delivers exceptional cutting power, enabling aggressive machining operations on various materials including steel, aluminum, and exotic alloys. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,800 RPM, the machine balances high-speed finishing capabilities with low-speed torque for heavy roughing cuts. The extended machining length of 122 inches facilitates production of lengthy shafts, tubes, and other elongated components in a single setup, significantly reducing setup time and improving efficiency. The integrated tailstock provides essential support for long workpieces, enhancing rigidity and preventing deflection during critical cutting operations. This feature is particularly valuable for precision applications requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and superior surface finishes. The CNC control system enables programmable tool paths, automatic feeds, and repeatable production runs with minimal operator intervention. Suitable for aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing, this lathe combines substantial capacity with precision engineering, delivering the rigidity, power, and repeatability demanded by modern production facilities.
