FEMCO HL-25 DURGA CNC LATHE

This is a precision CNC lathe engineered for medium-scale production and complex turning operations. The machine features an 8-inch chuck size capable of holding bar stock up to 2 inches in diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of cylindrical workpiece geometries. With a maximum turning diameter of 11 inches and a swing capacity of 17.72 inches, the lathe accommodates moderately sized components while maintaining rigid tool positioning across the cross-slide. The machining length of 23.62 inches provides substantial axial capacity for extended part production without frequent repositioning. The spindle operates at speeds up to 4,800 RPM, delivering adequate torque for both finishing and roughing operations across various material types, from aluminum to steel forgings. Controlled by a Fanuc CNC system, the machine delivers precision levels as tight as ±0.0005 inches, ensuring consistent repeatability across production runs. The computer numerical control eliminates manual handwheel operation, automating speed and distance control through servo motors for complex tool path execution. Physically, the machine measures 85.5 by 54.33 inches with a substantial working weight of 7,161 pounds, indicating a rigid cast-iron construction that minimizes vibration during demanding machining cycles. This weight and footprint classification positions the lathe as an industrial-grade tool suitable for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities with high accuracy and repeatability on mid-range diameter and length workpieces.
