MACHTOOL TCL-100 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact CNC lathe designed for precision turning and machining operations with Computer Numerical Control capabilities. The machine features a 6.5-inch chuck size, providing reliable workpiece holding for small to medium-sized components. With a maximum turning diameter of 9.84 inches, the lathe accommodates parts requiring radial cutting operations perpendicular to the spindle axis. The swing specification of 11.81 inches indicates the largest diameter workpiece that can rotate above the bed and cross slide without obstruction. The CNC control system enables automated, repeatable machining with high precision and minimal operator intervention. This configuration typically operates on 2-axis control with the tool positioned in a fixed turret arrangement, making it suitable for standard turning, threading, and facing operations. The machine's compact footprint makes it ideal for job shops and smaller manufacturing facilities where space is limited. The specified dimensions suggest this lathe is engineered for producing smaller precision parts with tight tolerances. Optional enhancements like bar feeders, part catchers, and extended bed lengths may be available to expand operational capabilities. The CNC control system integrates rapid traverse functions and synchronized feed rates to optimize production efficiency while maintaining superior workpiece finish quality.
