KINGSTON CL68A X 2000 CNC LATHE

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on large workpieces. The machine features a 45-inch swing over bed, enabling machining of parts with substantial diameters, while the 80-inch machining length accommodates extended workpieces from headstock to tailstock. The lathe operates on two linear axes—the X-axis controls radial tool movement for diameter adjustments, and the Z-axis manages longitudinal tool travel along the workpiece length. Powered by a robust 60 horsepower spindle motor, the machine delivers significant cutting force and torque necessary for heavy stock removal and demanding applications. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 650 RPM, making it suitable for larger diameter workpieces and tough materials where lower speeds are beneficial for tool life and surface finish. The 7.3-inch bar capacity allows direct feeding of round stock material, streamlining production workflows for bar-fed operations. An integrated automatic tailstock provides support for longer workpieces during machining, enhancing stability and reducing deflection. The machine is controlled by a Fanuc 0iTF CNC control system, offering reliable programmable operation with advanced features for complex part production. This configuration makes the lathe ideal for manufacturing large shafts, pipes, bushings, and similar components requiring precision turning in production environments. The combination of substantial swing diameter, extended machining length, and powerful spindle makes this an excellent choice for industrial shops handling mid-range to large-scale work requiring repeatability and accuracy.
