ECOCA SL-8 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck size, driven by a 14.75 hp motor delivering a maximum spindle speed of 4,800 RPM, enabling efficient and precise turning operations. It supports a maximum turning diameter of 12.6 inches and a swing of 16.5 inches, accommodating medium-sized workpieces. The machining length capacity is 19.7 inches, suitable for moderate-length parts. The machine includes a tailstock, enhancing support for longer or slender workpieces during turning to maintain stability and reduce deflection. Controlled via CNC, it allows programmable, automated machining with high repeatability and precision. The combination of power, speed, and travel dimensions makes it capable of handling various materials and complex parts in manufacturing environments requiring detailed machining and flexibility. The 16.5-inch swing over bed allows the machining of parts with a larger diameter than the chuck size itself, while the 19.7-inch machining length defines the longest workpiece the lathe can efficiently handle between centers. This setup is typical for CNC lathes used in small to medium production runs, offering a balance between size, power, and control sophistication. The tailstock inclusion supports increased machining versatility and part stability during operations such as drilling, reaming, or taper turning under CNC control for precise motion and toolpath execution. Overall, this CNC lathe provides a robust platform for accurate turning with a capacity suited for diverse industrial or workshop applications.
