HITACHI SEIKI CA23-II CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a Fanuc 18iT control system, providing reliable and advanced machining capabilities for precision applications. The machine offers a maximum turning length of 19.69 inches and a swing of 17.72 inches, supporting robust workpiece handling. Axis travels are specified as X: 10.43 inches, Y: +/- 2.36 inches, and Z: 20.87 inches, with a full Y-axis for enhanced contouring and off-center machining operations. The C-axis resolution is 0.001 degrees, enabling high-precision indexing and synchronized milling operations. Guideways are of the LM (linear motion) type for smooth, accurate movement and long-term durability. The spindle achieves a maximum rotation speed of 4000 RPM, utilizing an integrated spindle design for improved rigidity and thermal stability. The spindle nose is A2-8 (to be confirmed), and the machine is equipped with a 16-station VDI 30 turret for efficient tool changing and versatile machining. A sub-spindle is included, supporting secondary operations and increasing productivity. The Fanuc 18iT control delivers intuitive programming, robust diagnostics, and seamless integration with automated systems. This configuration is ideal for complex, high-accuracy turning and milling tasks in demanding production environments.
