KNUTH NUMTURN 500/1000 SI HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH Numturn 500/1000 SI is a CNC horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision turning operations on medium to large workpieces. This machine features a robust single main spindle capable of handling workpieces up to 20 inches in diameter and 30 inches in length, making it suitable for diverse production requirements. The 10-inch chuck diameter provides secure workpiece clamping for stable machining operations. Operating at 2,000 RPM with 20.10 HP motor capacity, the main spindle delivers substantial cutting power for efficient material removal across various materials. The machine accommodates two simultaneous cutting tools, enabling multi-tool operations that enhance productivity and reduce cycle times through simultaneous finishing and roughing passes. With 36 inches of Z-axis travel, the machine offers extended longitudinal workpiece positioning flexibility, allowing extended reach for complex part geometries and multiple cutting operations along the workpiece length. Controlled by a Siemens 808D CNC control system, the Numturn 500/1000 SI delivers high repeatability and precision positioning capabilities essential for maintaining tight tolerances in production environments. The machine's architecture combines proven Proton Series design principles with modern CNC integration, making it an entry-level production lathe suitable for job shops and small-to-medium manufacturing operations requiring reliable, cost-effective turning capabilities with multi-tool simultaneous cutting functionality.
