FEMCO WVL-F24A CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The 2-axis CNC lathe is a precision horizontal turning center engineered for high-volume production of components with simple to moderate geometries. This machine operates on two linear axes—the X-axis controlling radial diameter adjustments and the Z-axis managing longitudinal workpiece positioning—making it ideal for symmetrical turned parts. Equipped with a robust 100 horsepower spindle motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force across its operational envelope. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, providing optimal surface speeds for various material applications including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. With a maximum turning diameter of 25.9 inches and a swing capacity of 32.7 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates mid-sized components requiring precision turning operations. Control is managed through a FANUC 0i-TTC CNC system, which utilizes ISO code programming with manual keyboard input and RS232 communication capability. The system features comprehensive self-diagnosis functions and power-off protection to ensure reliable operation. The machine's architecture incorporates servo motor-driven axes with precision ball screws, delivering superior positioning accuracy and repeatability. The flat-bed construction provides excellent rigidity for consistent machining quality. This configuration supports multiple tool rest options—four-station, six-station, vertical, or horizontal arrangements—with precision end-tooth plate positioning for optimal tool placement. The combination of substantial power, moderate spindle speed, and generous swing diameter positions this lathe as a versatile solution for job shops and contract manufacturers requiring consistent, high-precision turned components in production quantities.
