GEMINIS CNC720X3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC lathe featuring a Fagor 8055 control system, specifically optimized for large-scale turning operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 28 inches in swing over bed and 18.5 inches over carriage, with an impressive 118-inch distance between centers, making it suitable for extended shaft and cylindrical component machining. The spindle bore diameter of 4.1 inches provides versatile tooling options for various turning applications. Operating within a 300-1200 RPM spindle speed range, the lathe delivers substantial cutting capacity with a 5,600-pound load rating between centers, enabling efficient material removal across diverse workpiece sizes. The 23 HP main motor drive supplies sufficient power for demanding production environments and interrupted cuts. The 8-position turret configuration allows rapid tool changes and complex multi-operation programming without manual intervention, enhancing productivity and reducing cycle times. The Fagor 8055 control system is a high-performance industrial CNC platform offering ISO G-code compatibility, multiple operating modes including manual, MDI, and automatic execution, and advanced features such as automatic tool calibration, jerk control for smooth acceleration, and comprehensive feedback systems. The control supports up to 2-3 axis coordination with 8 feedback ports, digital servo communication capability, and RS-232 serial connectivity for program transfer and remote monitoring. This lathe represents a robust production solution for precision turning operations requiring extended capacity, consistent accuracy, and flexible programming capabilities in industrial manufacturing environments.
