KAAST MACHINE TOOLS R-TURN 360 / 1100 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on large cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a 14.8-inch chuck capacity and delivers 35 horsepower with a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, making it well-suited for high-torque applications such as turning large-diameter parts, castings, and forgings. The 24-inch maximum turning diameter and 28-inch swing accommodate substantial workpieces, while the 42.5-inch machining length enables extended part production. The integrated tailstock provides additional support for longer workpieces during machining, enhancing stability and precision. Controlled by a FANUC OI-TD CNC system, the lathe operates on two linear axes—the X-axis controlling diameter by moving the tool inward and outward, and the Z-axis controlling length along the workpiece. This configuration allows for automated, repeatable machining of symmetrical and moderately complex parts with tight tolerances. The substantial 24,370-pound construction (measuring 195 inches long, 92 inches wide, and 133 inches high) ensures rigid stability during demanding cutting operations. The 2,000 RPM maximum speed, combined with significant horsepower and torque, prioritizes material removal capability over rapid production, making this machine ideal for heavy stock removal and precision work on large industrial components requiring high accuracy and consistent repeatability.
