FORTUNE CL-78 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FORTUNE CL-78 is a heavy-duty horizontal flat-bed CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations. Featuring a robust 60 HP spindle motor operating at 650 RPM, this machine delivers substantial cutting power for demanding production environments. The main spindle accommodates a 15-inch chuck diameter with maximum bar capacity of 7.1 inches, enabling efficient handling of various workpiece sizes. With a maximum turning length of 246 inches, the CL-78 supports extended part fabrication capabilities. The machine incorporates dual tool carriers—a primary V8 turret with 8-position tool capacity and a secondary H4 turret with 4-position capability—allowing flexible tooling configurations for complex turning sequences. Operating with single simultaneous cutting tool, the two-axis CNC system provides coordinated X and Z-axis motion for precise part geometry. Standard X-axis travel spans 26.77 inches over the bed, while Z-axis travel measures 79.53 inches with optional extended travel up to 237.01 inches for longer workpieces. The machine's construction utilizes heavy-duty linear guides and Fanuc control components, ensuring repeatability and reliability in high-volume production applications. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing sectors, the CL-78 delivers consistent performance for turning, facing, threading, and contouring operations on medium to large components.
