FORTUNE PACIFIC NC3150 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a large chuck and bar capacity of 98.43 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces with a maximum swing diameter of 124.02 inches, allowing machining of large diameters. It operates on 2 axes (X and Z), supporting fundamental turning operations with a machining length capability of 787.40 inches, suited for long parts. The lathe is powered by a robust 147.51 hp motor, delivering sufficient power for heavy-duty cutting, with a maximum spindle speed of 100 RPM optimized for large diameter and heavy stock removal rather than high-speed machining. It includes a tailstock to support long workpieces during machining, enhancing accuracy and stability. The machine does not have live tooling or a sub-spindle, focusing on standard turning functionality rather than multitasking or secondary operations. Control is provided via a CNC system using FANUC 0i Mate-TD, a reliable and widely used controller for precise, automated control of the 2-axis movements. This configuration is classical for heavy, long shaft or tube turning applications where power, swing, and length capacity are prioritized over multi-axis complexity or milling capabilities. The combination of a large swing, extended machining length, and high horsepower makes this lathe ideal for processing lengthy and heavy cylindrical components in industries such as aerospace, energy, or heavy machinery manufacturing.
