KINGSTON CHK-3000 CNC CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty, 2-axis CNC turning center engineered for large-scale production machining of extended components. The machine features a substantial 24" chuck with a 12.6" bar capacity, accommodating significant workpiece diameters up to 22" turning diameter and lengths reaching 120". The rigid construction provides a 30" swing over bed, enabling precision machining of larger parts while maintaining dimensional accuracy. Powered by a 20 hp motor delivering 300 RPM spindle speed, this turning center is optimized for heavy-duty roughing and finishing operations on substantial workpieces, prioritizing torque and cutting force over high-speed spindle performance. The integrated tailstock provides additional workpiece support and stability for extended turning operations, critical for maintaining concentricity and surface finish on long components. The machine's substantial footprint—30" wide by 120" long—reflects its capacity for full-length part production without secondary operations. Controlled by the proven Fanuc OT CNC control system, the turning center offers reliable, programmable automation for consistent part repeatability and reduced operator intervention. The 2-axis configuration (X and Z) provides fundamental turning capabilities with straightforward tool path programming. This machine class is ideal for contract manufacturers and production shops requiring precision turning of large-diameter, long-length shafts, sleeves, and similar cylindrical components, delivering high throughput with excellent surface finish and dimensional control typical of industrial-grade CNC turning platforms.
