KINGSTON CL78B X 5000 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe designed for large-scale turning operations and long-part production. The machine features a 59-inch swing over bed, enabling the machining of substantial workpieces with impressive diameter capacity. With a maximum machining length of 200 inches, this lathe accommodates extended components such as shafts, pipes, and similar elongated parts, making it ideal for versatile production runs. The 10-inch bar capacity allows continuous feeding of material stock, enhancing operational efficiency for high-volume applications. Powered by a robust 60 HP main spindle motor, the lathe delivers substantial torque and cutting force necessary for demanding machining tasks. The maximum spindle speed of 650 RPM is optimized for heavy stock removal and precision work on large-diameter workpieces, prioritizing power over speed for superior surface finish and tool life. The 2-axis configuration provides independent control of the X-axis (radial tool movement) and Z-axis (longitudinal positioning), enabling precise cylindrical turning operations. Equipped with an automatic tailstock, the machine provides essential support for extended workpieces, ensuring dimensional accuracy and reducing vibration during machining. The Fanuc 0iTF CNC control system delivers reliable, user-friendly programming and operation, featuring advanced diagnostics and proven industrial reliability. This configuration makes the lathe suitable for aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment manufacturing, and custom fabrication shops requiring exceptional capacity and power for large, complex turned components.
