GILDEMEISTER MF SPRINT 65 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The SINUMERIK 840C CNC lathe represents a precision machine tool engineered for high-performance turning operations. This system features a 10-inch chuck capacity paired with a 2.5-inch bar capacity, accommodating a diverse range of workpiece geometries and materials. The 31.5-inch distance between centers provides extended workpiece length capability, suitable for complex multi-operation turning tasks. Powered by a robust 28.3 kW spindle motor, the machine delivers substantial cutting force across its operational envelope. The 4,500 RPM maximum spindle speed enables efficient material removal rates and fine surface finishes across ferrous and non-ferrous materials, from steel and cast iron to aluminum and titanium alloys. The SINUMERIK 840C control system provides advanced CNC functionality including simultaneous multi-axis interpolation, integrated measuring cycles for in-process dimensional verification, and comprehensive tool management capabilities. The control architecture incorporates PLC-based logic, enabling complex machining sequences, adaptive feeding, and real-time process monitoring. The system supports touch-trigger probe integration for automatic workpiece detection and tool geometry compensation, minimizing setup time and reducing dimensional variation. Advanced diagnostic capabilities and machine data configuration allow OEM customization for specific production requirements. The control's computer link functionality enables seamless integration with manufacturing execution systems for program transfer, tool data management, and production scheduling. This configuration delivers precision turning with throughput optimization, making it suitable for both job shop and production environments requiring reliable performance and dimensional accuracy across extended production runs.
