KAAST MACHINE TOOLS E-TURN A230/2000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe combines robust power and precision for small to medium batch production of turned components. Featuring a 10 horsepower motor, the machine delivers substantial cutting force across a speed range up to 1,600 RPM, making it suitable for both roughing and finishing operations on various materials. The 17.9-inch swing diameter accommodates mid-sized workpieces, while the 78-inch machining length provides extended capability for producing longer shafts, tubes, and cylindrical parts. The included tailstock enables between-centers machining and extended workpiece support, enhancing rigidity during heavy cuts and improving surface finish quality. This configuration is particularly valuable for stepped shafts, tapered components, and parts requiring support along their length. The CNC control system delivers automated X and Z-axis motion, enabling complex contours, threading, and repetitive production without manual intervention. Two-axis capability focuses on the most critical turning operations—radial depth of cut (X-axis) and axial feed (Z-axis)—providing an economical solution for shops seeking CNC accuracy and efficiency without the complexity and expense of multi-axis systems. The machine's specifications balance power, speed range, and work envelope to address general turning applications. The 1,600 RPM maximum accommodates larger diameter workpieces where surface speed considerations require lower speeds, while adequate horsepower ensures consistent chip removal. This lathe targets job shops and production facilities seeking reliable, cost-effective CNC automation for conventional turning work, offering superior repeatability compared to manual equipment with significantly reduced operator skill requirements.
