MIGHTY VIPER VT-50A+X3000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 10.2-inch bar capacity and operates on a 2-axis configuration (X and Z axes), suitable for precision turning of cylindrical parts. It is powered by a robust 60 HP motor, delivering up to 750 RPM spindle speed, enabling efficient machining of medium to large diameter components. The machine supports a maximum turning diameter of 35 inches and a maximum swing of 40 inches, allowing it to accommodate sizable workpieces. It offers a machining length of 116.5 inches, providing substantial longitudinal capacity to handle longer parts. Equipped with a tailstock, it ensures stable workpiece support during turning operations, critical for precision and reducing deflection. The lathe lacks live tooling and a sub spindle, focusing on traditional turning rather than milling or multi-spindle capabilities. Control is managed via a CNC system, specifically the Fanuc 0i-TD controller, which enables automated, repeatable, and accurate precision machining with easy programmability. This setup suits applications requiring high power and torque, such as turning large diameter parts or working with heavy materials, while providing controlled linear motions along X and Z axes to produce symmetrical, high-quality turned components. The absence of live tooling limits milling operations, focusing the machine’s capability primarily on turning tasks. Overall, this CNC lathe balances power, size, and precision for manufacturing medium to large cylindrical parts with stable and repeatable performance.
