KINAH L15 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe is a precision turning machine designed for symmetrical and straightforward cylindrical workpiece manufacturing. Equipped with a 6-inch chuck and capable of holding bar stock up to 1.65 inches in diameter, it accommodates a wide range of standard material formats. The machine features an 8-inch maximum turning diameter with a 10.2-inch swing capacity, enabling operation on parts up to 9.8 inches in machining length. The two-axis configuration controls the X-axis for radial depth (diameter adjustments) and the Z-axis for axial movement along the workpiece, making it ideal for basic turning operations including facing, threading, and drilling. With a 5 kW power supply and maximum spindle speed of 3,000 RPM, this lathe delivers adequate torque for general turning of small-to-medium sized parts rather than heavy stock removal. The Syntec CNC control system automates tool positioning and part geometry, providing consistent repeatability and precision typical of computer numerical control machines. The robust construction weighs 5,500 pounds and occupies 6.2 x 5.5 x 5.25 feet of floor space, ensuring stability during machining operations. This machine is well-suited for production runs requiring high accuracy and repeatability in the creation of components such as shafts, bushings, and custom fittings where tight tolerances are necessary.
