MACPOWER MAXI BIGTURN CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center is a compact lathe equipped with a FANUC Series 0i-TF control system, designed for precision turning operations. The machine features a 19.68-inch swing diameter and 29.52-inch machining length, providing adequate working envelope for mid-range production work. The 9.84-inch chuck accommodates various workpiece configurations, while the 2.36-inch bar capacity supports continuous bar feeding for high-volume part production. The turning diameter capacity of 11.81 inches allows for efficient machining of medium-sized components. Powered by a 14.75 hp spindle capable of 2,500 RPM maximum, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force suitable for both roughing and finishing operations. The FANUC 0i-TF control provides advanced CNC functionality including up to 4 simultaneously controlled axes with expandable dual-path capability. Key control features include automatic acceleration/deceleration with bell-shaped ramping for smooth rapid traverse and cutting feed motions, feedrate override (0-254%), and jog override capabilities (0-655.34%). The control supports rigid tapping, spindle synchronous control, and constant surface speed control for optimized cutting performance. The system includes Smart Servo control technology for real-time optimization of servo and spindle performance, reducing cycle times while maintaining part accuracy. Features such as Smart Rigid Tapping and Smart Overlap enhance machining efficiency for job shop applications including drilling, turning, grooving, and threading operations. The compact footprint combined with robust spindle power and sophisticated control capabilities makes this machine suitable for precision production environments requiring consistent part quality and rapid changeover capability.
