KINGSTON CL68C X 2000 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The CK6180 is a heavy-duty, 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for precision turning operations on large workpieces. With a generous 45-inch swing over bed and 80-inch machining length, this machine accommodates substantial cylindrical components, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring extended part lengths. The machine features a 14.7-inch bar capacity, enabling efficient stock material handling for production runs. Powered by a robust 60 HP motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force necessary for demanding machining tasks. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 500 RPM, optimizing performance for heavy-duty roughing and finishing operations on larger diameter workpieces. The integrated automatic tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces, enhancing rigidity and accuracy during the machining process. Operating on a 2-axis configuration (X and Z), the lathe controls radial and longitudinal tool movement, enabling production of symmetrical and complex turned components with precision. The machine utilizes a Fanuc 0iTF CNC control system, delivering reliable automation, repeatability, and ease of operation for complex tool path execution. This control platform ensures consistent part-to-part accuracy while maintaining user-friendly programming interfaces. The CK6180 represents an industrial-grade solution suited for heavy fabrication shops, job shops, and manufacturing facilities requiring robust capability for large-diameter, extended-length component production with dependable CNC precision.
