HMT MACHINE TOOLS STARTURN CNC LATHE

This compact CNC turning center features a SIEMENS 802D control system for precision automated machining operations. With a machining length of 27.56 inches and a 7.87-inch chuck, the machine accommodates bar stock up to 1.65 inches in diameter, making it suitable for small to medium-sized turned components. The 3-horsepower motor drives the spindle to a maximum rotational speed of 2,500 RPM, providing adequate torque for stable cutting of various materials including steel, aluminum, and composites. The SIEMENS 802D controller delivers reliable CNC performance with intuitive programming capabilities and real-time machine monitoring functions when connected to internet-enabled systems. This configuration balances precision and cost-effectiveness for job shops, toolrooms, and prototype production environments. The lower spindle speed range makes this machine particularly well-suited for heavier cuts, threading operations, and work with larger-diameter stock where higher torque is prioritized over speed. Standard features typically include multiple tool-holding stations, automatic tool changers, and chip management systems to optimize workflow efficiency. The machine's compact footprint and moderate power requirements make it an accessible solution for facilities with space and electrical constraints while maintaining the repeatability and positioning accuracy essential for production runs. Ideal for shops requiring versatile turning capabilities without the investment required for larger, high-speed production centers.
