Technical Description
This CNC lathe is equipped with a robust 2.2 hp spindle motor, delivering reliable power for precision turning operations. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 300 RPM, ideal for heavy-duty machining and large-diameter workpieces. With a swing capacity of 11.8 inches and a machining length of 13.75 inches, the machine accommodates a wide range of part sizes, making it suitable for versatile production environments. The lathe is controlled by a Fanuc 0i Mate CNC system, known for its operator-friendly interface, high reliability, and advanced control features. The Fanuc 0i Mate supports up to four simultaneously controlled axes with digital servo control, enabling accurate and efficient multi-axis machining. Standard features include automatic operation, manual data input (MDI), DNC operation, tool life management, cutter compensation, canned cycles, and rigid tapping for high-quality threading. The control also offers comprehensive help functions, alarm history, and visual part program verification for ease of use and troubleshooting. Additional capabilities such as scaling, coordinate rotation, and mirror image enhance programming flexibility. The system supports both imperial and metric units and includes a background editor for seamless program editing. Connectivity options include RS232 and USB for data transfer, while the embedded PMC (PLC) provides up to 24,000 steps for custom machine logic. The lathe’s design, combined with Fanuc’s advanced CNC technology, ensures high productivity, precision, and ease of operation for demanding turning applications.
