FFG DMC DL 5GH CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on smaller workpieces. The machine features a 14.17-inch swing capacity and accommodates workpieces up to 5.91 inches in length, making it suitable for short-run production and prototype work. The 5-inch chuck provides adequate holding force for general machining applications, while the maximum turning diameter of 4.33 inches defines the radial cutting capability. Powered by a 7.37 horsepower motor capable of reaching 6,000 RPM, this lathe delivers sufficient torque and speed for efficient material removal across various turning operations. The dual-axis configuration—with X-axis controlling diameter and Z-axis controlling length—enables production of symmetrical parts and standard cylindrical components. The FANUC 0I-TF CNC control system provides reliable, industry-standard programming and operation, facilitating seamless integration into existing manufacturing workflows. This machine class typically achieves precision levels of ±0.0005 inches, ensuring consistent part quality across production runs. The compact footprint makes it ideal for job shops, tool rooms, and small manufacturing facilities with space constraints. Standard features generally include a 4-position turret, coolant system, and automatic lubrication for extended tool life. Well-suited for turning operations including facing, threading, grooving, and knurling, this lathe balances performance with accessibility for operators working with aluminum, brass, steel, and other machinable materials.
