HURCO TM18LBBI CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a swing capacity of 33.5 inches and a machining length of 79.7 inches, making it suitable for medium to large-sized workpieces. It accommodates a chuck size of 22.8 inches and supports a maximum turning diameter of 25 inches, allowing for versatile part dimensions. The machine is powered by a 72.9 hp motor with a maximum spindle speed of 650 RPM, delivering robust torque for heavy-duty turning operations. Equipped with CNC control, it offers precise and automated tool movement for high-accuracy machining and repeatability. The 33.5-inch swing permits clearance for larger diameter components, while the 79.7-inch machining length enables substantial part travel along the Z-axis. This combination supports a wide range of turning applications, from simple cylindrical parts to complex geometries requiring stable and reliable cutting conditions. The 650 RPM max spindle speed balances torque and surface finish, optimized for turning rather than high-speed milling. Overall, this machine provides a durable and capable platform for production environments that demand precision, flexibility, and efficiency in turning operations with controlled, computer-guided tool path execution.
