KINGSTON CX4-34160 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC turning center designed for large-scale production and complex turning operations. The machine features a 34-inch swing diameter with a maximum turning diameter of 21.6 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces for demanding industrial applications. With an impressive 160-inch machining length, this lathe is engineered for extended parts production, making it ideal for long-shaft manufacturing, automotive components, and aerospace applications requiring substantial distance between centers. Powered by a 30 HP motor, the machine delivers significant torque for heavy cutting operations while maintaining consistent performance across varied material types. The 800 RPM maximum spindle speed is optimized for precision work on larger diameter components, prioritizing accuracy and surface finish over high-speed machining. The 4.09-inch bar capacity enables efficient automated bar-feeding for continuous production runs, reducing manual intervention and improving throughput. Equipped with a tailstock, this turning center provides essential support for extended workpieces, enhancing rigidity and enabling drilling, boring, and taper operations along the part length. The FANUC 0iTF control system provides reliable, industry-standard CNC programming and operation, ensuring compatibility with existing shop floor protocols and extensive technical support resources. The 2-axis configuration (X and Z) allows fundamental turning operations including facing, threading, knurling, and diameter control. This configuration strikes a balance between operational simplicity and machining capability, suitable for shops requiring straightforward turning processes without multi-axis complexity. The combination of substantial power, extended machining envelope, and proven FANUC controls makes this machine suitable for production environments demanding precision, durability, and repeatability.
