ECOCA MT-520MC/4100 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC lathe engineered for large-scale precision turning and manufacturing operations. The machine features a 20-inch chuck capacity, capable of securely holding substantial bar stock and cylindrical workpieces. With a maximum turning diameter of 28.7 inches and swing capacity of 39.4 inches, it accommodates large-diameter components without interference from guarding or machine components. The impressive machining length of 161.4 inches enables the production of extended cylindrical parts, making it ideal for manufacturing shafts, bushings, and similarly elongated components requiring high precision. Powered by a robust 60-horsepower spindle motor, this lathe delivers the torque and force necessary for aggressive cutting operations on castings, forgings, and large-diameter parts. The 1,500 RPM maximum spindle speed is optimized for heavy material removal and sustained power delivery rather than high-speed finishing operations. The integrated tailstock provides critical support for longer workpieces during machining, preventing deflection and ensuring dimensional accuracy throughout extended turning operations. Computer numerical control (CNC) automation governs all movement and cutting parameters through programmed g-code commands, delivering precision levels as tight as ±0.0005 inches with exceptional repeatability across production runs. This configuration eliminates manual operation variability, enabling consistent part replication and complex tool path execution. The combination of substantial workholding capacity, extended bed length, significant power reserves, and CNC automation makes this lathe exceptionally suited for contract manufacturing, heavy industrial applications, and production environments requiring reliable precision machining of large cylindrical components.
