KINGSTON CL38CX3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 20-inch chuck and a bar capacity of 7.1 inches, designed to accommodate substantial workpieces. It operates with 2 axes—X and Z—offering precise linear movement; the X-axis travel is 21.7 inches, and the Z-axis travel extends up to 120 inches, allowing machining of long components. The machine’s swing is 26 inches, with a maximum turning diameter of 14.5 inches and maximum swing over bed/carriage of 26 inches, supporting a variety of part sizes. The bed width is 18 inches, and the distance between centers is 120 inches, facilitating large workpiece support. Power is supplied by a 30 HP AC spindle motor (with a 25 HP auxiliary rating), delivering up to 1,200 RPM spindle speed through an A2-15 spindle nose. The spindle bore diameter measures 7.3 inches, suitable for sizable bar stock. The machine includes a tailstock with a MT #5 taper, enhancing stability for long or extended parts. Rapid traverse rates in both X and Z axes reach 394 inches per minute, enabling efficient and fast tool positioning. Control is managed via a Fanuc 0i-TC system, renowned for reliability, precision, and ease of programming in CNC turning operations. Weighing approximately 18,000 lbs, this lathe is robustly constructed to ensure stability during heavy-duty machining. Overall, this lathe is engineered for high-precision, large-part turning with considerable power, travel, and control capabilities suitable for complex manufacturing tasks.
