FEMCO HL-55 NT CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a maximum swing of 28.6 inches, allowing for the machining of large-diameter workpieces, and a machining length of 13.4 inches, supporting medium-length parts. The 15-inch chuck size provides robust workholding capacity, while the 4.5-inch bar capacity enables the processing of substantial bar stock. With a powerful 35.1 HP spindle motor, the machine delivers high torque for demanding turning operations, and a maximum spindle speed of 2,500 RPM ensures efficient material removal rates for a wide range of materials. The maximum turning diameter is 24.2 inches, accommodating large cylindrical components within the machine’s travel limits. The absence of a tailstock indicates this lathe is optimized for chucking operations rather than center-supported long workpieces. The controls are CNC-based, offering precise automation and repeatability, though the specific make and model are not provided. This configuration makes the lathe suitable for high-precision turning of complex, symmetrical parts in production environments where accuracy, speed, and versatility are critical. The combination of high power, large swing, and generous bar capacity positions this machine for heavy-duty industrial applications, including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
