HITACHI SEIKI 4NE-600 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 10-inch chuck and a swing over bed of 22.75 inches, accommodating sizable workpieces up to 23.6 inches between centers. The X-axis travel measures 8.87 inches, while the Z-axis provides a 24-inch travel length, allowing for precise longitudinal and radial machining. The spindle incorporates a 2.75-inch through-hole to facilitate bar feeding or long stock machining. Spindle speeds range broadly from 20 to 3,150 RPM, governed by two distinct gear ranges for versatile speed selection. Powering the spindle is a robust 15 HP DC motor, delivering high torque and speed stability essential for heavy-duty cutting. Tooling is managed via a 12-position turret, enabling rapid tool changes and multi-tool operations without manual intervention. The CNC control system is a Fanuc 6T with CRT display, a classic but reliable controller known for its high accuracy, closed-loop servo control, and extensive programmability, ideal for industrial turning applications. This setup suits complex and precision machining tasks, benefiting from the Fanuc 6T’s features such as velocity control, self-diagnostics, and manual data input capabilities. Overall, the machine provides a combination of substantial capacity, flexible tooling, powerful spindle drive, and a proven CNC system, making it suited for turning operations requiring both versatility and precision.
