MARSHALL SL-20/3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center is a mid-range production lathe engineered for precision machining of complex rotational components. The machine features a swing diameter of 23.43 inches and accommodates bar stock up to 2.48 inches in diameter, making it suitable for medium-sized workpiece production. With an extended machining length of 118.11 inches, the lathe provides substantial capacity for longer parts while maintaining rigidity through robust guideway construction. The turning diameter capacity of 13.78 inches enables efficient machining of various cylindrical geometries and contoured profiles. Powered by a 14.75 horsepower motor, the machine delivers consistent cutting torque across its 3,000 RPM maximum spindle speed, balancing surface finish quality with production efficiency. This spindle configuration is optimized for both standard turning operations and secondary machining tasks. The CNC control system enables automated tool selection and positioning through an integrated turret, minimizing manual intervention and reducing cycle times. The machine's inherent structural rigidity and precision linear motion systems support accuracies typical of modern turning centers, capable of achieving tolerances up to ±0.0001 inches with repeatable results. This turning center configuration is well-suited for automotive, medical device, and general industrial component production where cost-effectiveness and reliable precision are priorities. The combination of adequate power, extended work envelope, and CNC automation makes it an effective solution for both dedicated production runs and flexible job-shop applications requiring versatile turning capabilities.
