MICROCUT LT-52 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center represents a mid-range production machine engineered for precision shaft and component manufacturing. The 8.27-inch chuck accommodates workpieces up to 2.05 inches in bar diameter, making it ideal for Swiss-style and conventional turning operations on medium-sized parts. With a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM and 14.75 horsepower, the machine delivers substantial cutting force suitable for both roughing and finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 18.11-inch machining length provides adequate stroke for complex multi-operation parts requiring longitudinal tool travel. This configuration supports extended production runs with minimal setup changes. The Fanuc CNC control system ensures reliable, repeatable precision with advanced programming capabilities and intuitive operator interfaces, enabling rapid cycle times and consistent part-to-part accuracy. The machine's power specification of 14.75 hp indicates robust spindle torque characteristics, allowing aggressive feeds and speeds while maintaining dimensional stability. The RPM rating of 5,000 optimizes performance across various material grades and tool geometries, from high-speed steel to carbide tooling applications. This turning center integrates automatic tool changers and chip management systems typical of production-grade equipment. The specification profile indicates suitability for job shops, contract manufacturers, and dedicated production environments requiring medium-complexity turning operations. The combination of chuck size, power delivery, and spindle speed creates a versatile platform for prototype development through high-volume production runs, with the Fanuc control providing proven reliability and extensive programming support across global manufacturing facilities.
