HMT MACHINE TOOLS CNC TRAINER LATHE CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact CNC turning center designed for precision machining of small components. The machine features a 5.91-inch swing diameter, limiting workpiece size but enabling high precision in confined spaces typical of medical device, electronics, and miniature mechanical part production. The 12.20-inch machining length accommodates moderate-length workpieces, making it suitable for shaft, bushing, and connector manufacturing. Equipped with a FANUC CNC control system, this lathe offers advanced automation capabilities with automatic tool selection and positioning through its tool turret. The 1.07 hp spindle motor delivers controlled power for precision cutting operations, while the 3,000 RPM maximum spindle speed provides optimal cutting velocities for various material types and tool geometries. The 1.77-inch maximum turning diameter specification indicates the machine's capacity for workpieces within this diameter range. This configuration exemplifies entry-level precision turning equipment suitable for job shops and small-scale production environments. The FANUC control enables complex geometries and repeatable tolerances, typically achieving±0.0001 inches or better on dimensionally critical features. The modest power rating and spindle speed suggest this machine prioritizes precision and surface finish quality over high-volume production rates, making it ideal for applications demanding tight tolerances in the IT5-IT7 range. The compact footprint and straightforward 2-axis operation (X and Z) minimize operator training requirements while maintaining capability for threading, facing, drilling, and boring operations essential to small part production workflows.
