KINGSTON CJ-26160 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe designed for high-volume production of medium to large-diameter components. With a 26-inch swing over bed, the machine accommodates workpieces up to approximately 13 inches in diameter, while the exceptional 160-inch machining length enables production of long shafts, pipes, and extended components. The machine features a 4.09-inch bar capacity, supporting automatic bar feeding operations for efficient, unattended production cycles. Powered by a robust 28.9 horsepower spindle motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force and capability. The maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM is optimized for heavy cutting operations on larger workpieces, prioritizing torque and stability over high-speed finishing. The integrated tailstock provides critical support for extended workpieces, preventing deflection and ensuring dimensional accuracy during extended turning operations. This lathe operates on two linear axes—the X-axis for radial tool movement and diameter control, and the Z-axis for longitudinal positioning and length control—providing the foundational capability for symmetrical parts and standard turning operations. The flexible CNC control system options (Fagor 8060FL, Fanuc 0iTF, or Siemens 828D) enable sophisticated programming and integration with modern manufacturing environments. This configuration represents an industrial-grade turning solution suitable for contract manufacturing, heavy component production, and applications requiring long-workpiece capability combined with reliable power and precision.
