KNUTH FORCETURN XL 52120 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KNUTH FORCETURN XL 52120 is a heavy-duty CNC horizontal machining center engineered for large-scale turning operations. This robust flat-bed lathe accommodates workpieces up to 51 inches in diameter and 126 inches in length, making it ideal for machining large, heavy components. The machine features a single main spindle capable of 800 RPM with a standard 28 HP motor, expandable to 42 HP for demanding applications. The dual-spindle configuration with identical specifications enables simultaneous turning operations, enhancing productivity for complex parts requiring multiple turning surfaces. With two simultaneous cutting tools and an Z-axis travel of 118 inches, the machine delivers exceptional versatility for multi-axis machining tasks. The rigid flat-bed design ensures high precision and minimal deflection when processing heavyweight workpieces, while hardened and ground guideways provide lasting accuracy and wear resistance. The Forceturn XL 52120 incorporates a proven knee-and-column design with wide, heavy square guides on critical axes for maximum load capacity. This configuration is optimized for maintenance departments and single-part production environments where reliability and precision are paramount. The machine's substantial spindle power combined with its generous working envelope positions it as a premium solution for heavy-cycle turning applications requiring superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy on large, complex parts.
