KAAST MACHINE TOOLS E-TURN E 170/760 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The 2-Axis CNC Lathe is a precision turning center designed for efficient production of cylindrical and symmetrical components. Operating on dual linear axes—X and Z—this machine controls both workpiece diameter and length with exceptional accuracy. The X-axis manages radial tool movement for diameter reduction, while the Z-axis commands longitudinal positioning along the workpiece. With a maximum turning diameter of 20 inches and swing capacity of 13.2 inches, this lathe accommodates medium-sized components requiring reliable repeatability. The machining length of 29.5 inches provides adequate working envelope for standard production runs. Powered by a 2.2 kW motor with maximum spindle speed of 2,570 RPM, the machine delivers balanced torque and speed characteristics suitable for various material applications including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The integrated tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces, enabling between-center turning operations and enhanced dimensional accuracy. The full CNC control system enables ISO-standard programming through keyboard input with RS232 communication capability, incorporating automatic tool changers and diagnostic functions. Servo motor-driven axes coupled with precision ball screws ensure high repeat positioning accuracy, typically ±0.005mm or better. This configuration makes the lathe ideal for cell manufacturing environments where multiple identical components require consistent quality and reduced cycle times. The compact footprint combined with robust construction addresses production demands for small to medium batch runs while maintaining cost-effectiveness and operational simplicity.
