KINGSTON CL68B X 5000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe represents a heavy-duty turning center engineered for large-scale component manufacturing. With a 45-inch swing over bed and an impressive 200-inch machining length, the machine accommodates substantial workpieces and long shaft applications, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and industrial part production. The X-axis controls radial movement for diameter operations, while the Z-axis manages longitudinal tool travel along the workpiece. Equipped with a 60 HP main spindle drive and maximum spindle speed of 650 RPM, this lathe delivers powerful torque characteristics ideal for heavy cutting operations and rigid workholding. The 10-inch bar capacity enables automatic bar feeding for efficient production runs, while the included tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces during turning operations. The Fanuc 0iTF CNC control system ensures precise tool path execution and repeatability, capable of achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. This fundamental 2-axis configuration excels at producing symmetrical parts with consistent quality across high-volume production. The machine's robust construction and substantial power delivery make it well-suited for demanding turning applications requiring both accuracy and production throughput. Optional accessories such as part catchers and enhanced coolant systems can further optimize operational efficiency and tool life for specialized manufacturing requirements.
