GEDEE WEILER UNITURN 500HD-32 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for precision turning operations on small to medium-sized components. The machine features an 18.7-inch swing over bed and accommodates workpieces up to 21.7 inches in machining length, making it suitable for manufacturing shafts, bushings, and similar cylindrical parts. The 6.5-inch chuck provides secure workpiece clamping, while the 1.26-inch bar capacity enables automatic bar feeding for high-volume production runs. With 7.4 horsepower driving the spindle to a maximum of 4,000 RPM, the lathe delivers sufficient torque for general turning, threading, and facing operations. The maximum turning diameter of 8.9 inches allows cutting across the full workpiece face. The integrated tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces, enhancing accuracy and reducing deflection during machining. Control is managed through a FANUC OI MATE TD CNC system, delivering the precision and repeatability expected in modern manufacturing environments. CNC lathes of this class typically achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches, ensuring consistency across production batches. The 4,409-pound weight reflects a sturdy construction designed to minimize vibration and maintain dimensional stability during operation. This configuration represents an ideal solution for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production environments requiring reliable, repeatable turning capabilities without the complexity of higher-axis systems.
