KAAST MACHINE TOOLS E-TURN 275/1370 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe is engineered for precision turning operations on medium-sized components, featuring a robust 15 HP spindle motor capable of reaching 3,500 RPM for efficient material removal across various workpiece diameters. The machine accommodates bar stock up to 3 inches in diameter, making it suitable for processing both solid rounds and tubing in production environments. With a machining length of 53 inches, the lathe provides substantial Z-axis travel for extended workpiece profiles, enabling the creation of complex longitudinal features and detailed turning operations. The integrated tailstock enhances versatility by supporting between-centers machining, allowing for improved rigidity during heavy cutting and extended workpiece support during precision finishing operations. The CNC control system automates tool positioning along the X-axis (radial depth of cut) and Z-axis (axial feed), enabling consistent repeatability and complex part geometry execution. This configuration is ideal for small to medium-volume production runs requiring simple to moderately complex geometries, such as shafts, bushings, and stepped components. The machine's combination of adequate horsepower, moderate spindle speed range, and extended machining length makes it particularly effective for applications in automotive component manufacturing, hydraulic system parts, and general industrial machining where precision and production efficiency are balanced against capital investment considerations.
