METHODS SLANT 50 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center represents a mid-range production lathe engineered for precision machining operations. The machine features a 13.0-inch swing diameter with a 20.87-inch machining length, accommodating workpieces up to 12.0 inches in turning diameter. The 10.0-inch chuck paired with a 3.0-inch bar capacity provides flexibility for various stock materials and diameters. Powered by a robust 20.0 HP spindle motor, the system delivers spindle speeds ranging from 35 to 3,500 RPM, with maximum cutting efficiency at 3,500 RPM, enabling optimal surface finishes across diverse material grades. The A2-8 spindle nose with a 3.15-inch bore accommodates standard tooling interfaces. Control is managed by a Yasnac LX3 CNC system featuring graphics capability, enabling comprehensive program visualization and real-time monitoring. The 10-station automatic turret allows rapid tool indexing for multi-operation sequences, enhancing productivity through minimized tool change time. The tailstock assembly features a MT-3 taper with 19.3 inches of body travel and a 3.34-inch quill diameter, supporting extended workpiece support and accommodating various tailstock accessories with a 3.5-inch quill stroke for drilling and center operations. This configuration makes the machine suitable for high-volume production runs involving complex turning, threading, and secondary operations, delivering reliable performance in job shop and manufacturing environments requiring precision and repeatability.
