KINGSTON CL78C X 3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 59-inch swing and a maximum machining length of 120 inches, enabling the handling of large workpieces with significant diameter and length. It operates on a 2-axis system (X and Z axes), providing precise control over diameter and length dimensions during turning operations. The bar capacity is 14.7 inches, suitable for processing substantial stock material. Powered by a 60 HP motor, the spindle achieves a maximum speed of 500 RPM, delivering robust torque for heavy-duty cutting tasks. The inclusion of a tailstock enhances support for long or slender workpieces, reducing deflection and vibration during machining. The machine is governed by a CNC control system, specifically the Fanuc 0iTF, known for its reliability, user-friendliness, and advanced programming capabilities, facilitating complex part production with high repeatability and precision. This combination of specifications makes the lathe well-suited for operations involving large, heavy parts requiring steady and accurate turning, such as in heavy machinery, automotive, or aerospace component manufacturing. The relatively moderate maximum RPM emphasizes its orientation toward roughing and finishing of large diameter components rather than high-speed small-part machining. Overall, this CNC lathe offers a robust and versatile platform for precision turning of significant workpiece sizes with controlled power and speed parameters.
