INDEX TRAUB V250 CNC VTL CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a mid-range CNC lathe engineered for precision turning and cylindrical workpiece machining with substantial power capacity. The machine features a 6.0-inch chuck diameter capable of securing bar stock and workpieces for automated operations. With a maximum swing of 17.7 inches and cutting diameter of 16.5 inches, the lathe accommodates medium to large-diameter components within its operational envelope. The work height specification of 13.4 inches paired with identical maximum turning length and axis travel measurements (13.4 inches both vertical X-axis and horizontal Z-axis) enables consistent two-axis linear motion control for creating symmetrical parts. The machine operates at 4,200 RPM maximum spindle speed, suitable for general turning, threading, facing, and drilling operations on various materials. The robust 20 HP spindle power delivers adequate torque for aggressive machining of castings, forgings, and steel components, making it well-suited for production runs involving material removal from large-diameter workpieces. The GE Fanuc 16i-T CNC control system utilizes 32-bit multiprocessor architecture, providing advanced programmable control capabilities that enable complex tool paths and high repeatability across production batches. This configuration allows computer-controlled automation of cutting sequences while maintaining precision tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches, essential for aerospace, medical, and automotive component manufacturing applications.
