Technical Description
This compact lathe features a 7.09-inch swing and a machining length of 4.92 inches, designed for precision turning operations on small to medium-sized workpieces. With a 5.31-inch chuck size and a bar capacity of 0.98 inches, it accommodates a variety of stock materials for versatile machining applications. The machine delivers 4.97 horsepower and achieves a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal and high productivity. The turning diameter is 6.50 inches, supporting a broad range of part geometries. At its core, the lathe is equipped with a FANUC 0i TF CNC control system, providing advanced digital servo control, up to 4-axis capability, and support for up to 2 spindles. The control offers rapid traverse rates up to 240 m/min, nano interpolation for fine surface finishes, and a suite of operator-friendly features including manual pulse generator, jog override, and spindle speed override. The FANUC 0i TF also supports rigid tapping, constant surface speed control, and spindle orientation, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability. Additional features include backlash compensation, stored pitch error compensation, and programmable data input for custom macros and canned cycles. The control’s intuitive interface and robust functionality make it ideal for both job shop environments and high-precision production, delivering reliable performance, fast cycle times, and ease of operation for a wide range of turning, drilling, grooving, and threading tasks.
