MAPLE T-6 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a precision turning machine equipped with Computer Numerical Control technology, designed for efficient material removal and part production. The machine accommodates bar stock up to 2 inches in diameter, allowing for versatile workpiece configurations suitable for various manufacturing applications. With a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM, the lathe delivers adequate rotational velocity for both roughing and finishing operations across multiple material types. The machine features a maximum turning diameter of 13.78 inches, indicating the largest workpiece diameter that can be safely rotated without obstruction. The swing specification of 27.17 inches represents the clearance available above the bed and cross slide, determining the maximum part size the lathe can accommodate. This dimension is critical for classifying the machine's capacity and versatility. The machining length of 23.62 inches defines the maximum longitudinal travel of the carriage along the bed, establishing the longest workpiece that can be processed between the headstock spindle and tailstock center. This travel distance directly impacts production flexibility for extended shaft or pipe applications. The CNC control system enables automated tool positioning, precise dimensional accuracy, and programmable machining sequences, reducing operator intervention and enhancing repeatability. This configuration makes the machine suitable for production runs requiring consistent precision and complex multi-axis operations. The combined specifications position this lathe as a mid-range machine tool ideal for small to medium-sized manufacturing operations requiring reliable turning capabilities.
