KINGSTON CL38C X 3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for high-volume production of symmetrical components and long shaft machining. The machine features a 26-inch maximum swing diameter and an impressive 120-inch machining length, making it ideal for extended workpieces that demand precision turning operations. Powered by a robust 30 HP motor, the lathe delivers consistent cutting force across its operating range with a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM, optimized for work requiring high torque rather than rapid rotational speeds. The 7.3-inch bar capacity accommodates standard material stock, while the equipped tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces, enabling balanced turning and minimizing deflection. The machine operates on two linear axes—the X-axis controls radial diameter adjustments, and the Z-axis governs longitudinal tool movement along the workpiece length. This fundamental 2-axis configuration excels at producing straightforward, symmetrical parts with repeatable accuracy. Control is managed through a Fanuc 0iTF CNC system, providing reliable programming flexibility and industry-standard compatibility. This lathe configuration is particularly suited for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications requiring extended components with tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes. The combination of high power, extended capacity, and proven control technology positions this machine for production environments where reliability, precision, and throughput are critical manufacturing parameters.
