MIGHTY VIPER VT-50AX/4000 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This heavy-duty CNC lathe is equipped with a robust Fanuc 21i-TB control system, delivering advanced machining capabilities for demanding industrial applications. The machine features a 25-inch chuck capacity, accommodating substantial workpieces for large-scale turning operations. With a maximum swing diameter of 39 inches, the lathe provides ample workspace for complex contoured components and high-precision turning tasks. Powered by a 50 HP motor, this lathe delivers substantial cutting force while maintaining operational efficiency across varying load conditions. The 750 RPM maximum spindle speed is optimized for heavy roughing operations and large-diameter workpiece machining, where lower speeds and higher torque are essential for material removal rates and surface finish quality. The Fanuc 21i-TB CNC controller provides sophisticated interpolation capabilities including linear and circular interpolation functions, enabling precise contouring and complex geometric profiles. The system incorporates AI nano contour control technology, offering advanced preview control and high-precision motion algorithms that ensure superior surface finishes even during demanding operations. The control architecture supports two-path simultaneous operation, allowing independent control of multiple machining axes for enhanced productivity. This configuration is ideal for shops requiring heavy-duty facing, turning, and parting operations on large forgings, castings, and fabricated components. The combination of substantial power, generous workholding capacity, and sophisticated CNC control makes this machine suitable for both production runs and specialized one-off projects demanding precision and reliability.
