MICROWEILY TY-1840CNC CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a mid-size CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations in production and job shop environments. With an 18-inch swing capacity, the machine accommodates workpieces up to 9 inches in diameter, making it suitable for small to medium-sized components. The 40-inch machining length provides substantial capacity for extended parts, enabling efficient production of shafts, bushings, and similar cylindrical workpieces. The two-axis configuration (X and Z) delivers fundamental turning and facing capabilities with coordinated motion control for accurate dimensional work. Powered by a 10-horsepower spindle motor, the lathe provides adequate cutting force for various materials including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The maximum spindle speed of 2,500 RPM enables appropriate surface speeds across a wide range of workpiece diameters and cutting tool geometries. The CNC control system automates part production, offering programmable tool paths and repeatability for consistent part quality. This machine class typically features rapid traverse rates supporting productive cycle times, precision ball screws for accurate positioning, and automatic tool changers for multi-step operations. The specifications position this lathe as a versatile workhorse for job shops, contract manufacturers, and small production runs requiring reliable performance without excessive footprint or power consumption. Setup and changeover times are minimized through CNC programming capabilities, making it cost-effective for diverse production requirements.
