KINGSTON CK12-34120 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a robust 2-axis CNC lathe designed for heavy-duty turning operations on large workpieces. The machine features a 34-inch swing over bed with a maximum machining length of 120 inches, accommodating extended shafts and pipes for comprehensive longitudinal work. The 18.5-inch maximum turning diameter provides ample capacity for substantial workpiece diameters, while the 12.5-inch bar capacity supports automated feeding of round stock. Powered by a 50 horsepower main spindle drive, this lathe delivers substantial torque and cutting force necessary for heavy material removal and demanding production runs. The spindle operates at a maximum of 400 RPM, optimized for larger diameter workpieces and rigid cutting applications rather than high-speed finishing. The machine incorporates a manual tailstock, enabling support for longer workpieces during extended machining operations and improving part rigidity during deep cuts. Control is managed through a Fanuc 0iTF CNC system, providing reliable and industry-standard programming and operation capabilities. The 2-axis configuration operates on X and Z axes, with the X-axis controlling radial depth and the Z-axis managing longitudinal tool movement, making this machine ideal for symmetrical cylindrical parts and traditional turning operations. This lathe represents a production-focused tool suitable for high-volume manufacturing of larger components in automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment sectors where precision and repeatability are critical requirements.
