MC MC 8500H CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features an 8" chuck and a 2.05" bar capacity, designed for precision machining of medium-sized workpieces. With a maximum turning diameter of 9.06" and a swing of 18.5", it accommodates a wide range of part geometries, while the 18.9" machining length supports extended operations. The machine operates on a 2-axis configuration, delivering reliable and accurate turning performance. The spindle achieves speeds up to 4,500 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. A tailstock is included for added support during long-part machining, but the machine does not feature a sub-spindle, making it ideal for primary turning operations without secondary machining requirements. Control is provided by a FANUC CNC system, known for its reliability, ease of programming, and seamless integration into modern manufacturing environments. The machine’s footprint measures 145.7" in length, 66.9" in width, and 86.6" in height, offering a compact design suitable for shops with space constraints. Weighing 7,275 lbs, the robust construction ensures stability and vibration damping during heavy-duty cutting. This turning center is well-suited for shops seeking a versatile, high-precision solution for general-purpose CNC turning applications, combining performance, reliability, and ease of use in a single platform.
