HEADMAN HTC550/500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a precision turning machine equipped with advanced computer numerical control technology for automated machining operations. The machine features a maximum swing of 21.65 inches over the bed, enabling it to accommodate workpieces up to 12.99 inches in turning diameter, with a machining length capacity of 20.67 inches along the longitudinal axis. The 8-inch chuck provides secure workpiece holding and repeatability for consistent production runs, while the 2-inch bar capacity supports automatic bar feeding for efficient production workflows. The spindle is powered by a 14.75 hp motor capable of reaching speeds up to 4,000 RPM, delivering sufficient torque and power for various turning, boring, and threading operations across multiple material types. The CNC control system enables programmable tool paths, speed optimization, and automated feed rates, allowing operators to store machining profiles and execute complex geometries with precision and repeatability. This configuration supports standard 2-axis operations (X and Z axes) for turning applications, with the turret system providing multiple tool stations for continuous machining without frequent tool changes. The machine is suitable for producing mid-range components including shafts, bushings, and precision-turned parts in production environments where reliability and accuracy are essential. Its compact footprint and moderate power requirements make it an accessible solution for job shops and small-to-medium manufacturing facilities requiring dependable CNC turning capabilities.
