KINGSTON CK14-34280 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty, 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for large-scale cylindrical machining and production turning operations. The machine features a substantial swing diameter of 34 inches over the bed, accommodating workpieces up to 18.3 inches in turning diameter with exceptional capacity. With an impressive machining length of 280 inches, this lathe is specifically designed for manufacturing extended shafts, pipes, and lengthy cylindrical components that demand precision over considerable distances. The 2-axis configuration provides simultaneous control over the X-axis (diameter) and Z-axis (length), enabling efficient tool positioning and straightforward yet capable turning operations. Powered by a robust 50 hp spindle motor, the machine delivers substantial cutting force and torque necessary for heavy production work, though the maximum spindle speed of 300 RPM is optimized for large-diameter work rather than high-speed finishing. The bar capacity of 14.7 inches allows automated bar feeding for continuous production runs, enhancing throughput and reducing setup time. An automatic tailstock is included, providing essential support for extended workpieces and improving dimensional accuracy during turning operations. The machine utilizes Fanuc 0iTF CNC control, a proven industrial standard offering reliable automation, rapid feed rates, and precise part repeatability. This configuration makes the lathe well-suited for manufacturing industries requiring production of large-diameter, long-length components such as marine shafts, industrial spindles, and heavy equipment components with consistent precision.
