KINGSTON CL78A X 3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for large-scale precision turning operations. The machine features a 59-inch swing over bed, accommodating substantial workpieces, paired with an impressive 120-inch maximum machining length that enables the production of extended shafts and pipes. The 2-axis configuration—controlling X-axis (diameter) and Z-axis (length) movements—provides fundamental capability for symmetrical and moderately complex parts. With a 7.1-inch bar capacity, the lathe handles significant material stock, ideal for batch production environments. The powerful 60 HP spindle motor delivers robust cutting force and torque necessary for demanding turning operations. The 650 RPM maximum spindle speed is optimized for heavy-duty machining of larger diameter workpieces, allowing sustained power delivery while maintaining control and surface finish quality. An integrated automatic tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces during machining, enhancing stability and enabling longer turning lengths. The Fanuc 0iTF CNC control system offers proven reliability and industry-standard programming capabilities, ensuring operator familiarity and straightforward tool path integration. This specification set makes the lathe particularly suited for automotive components, industrial shafts, and large structural parts where precision and material removal rates are critical. The combination of substantial swing capacity, extended machining length, and high horsepower positions this machine for demanding production applications requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability.
