MILLTRONICS ML17 SERIES B CNC LATHE

This is a precision CNC lathe engineered for medium to heavy-duty turning operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 17.2 inches in swing diameter over the ways, with 8 inches of swing clearance over the cross slide, enabling versatile part geometries. The 24-inch gap length with 10-inch gap capacity provides extended threading and grooving capabilities for longer components, supporting a maximum center distance of 39 inches between chuck and tailstock. The 2.375-inch spindle bore hole facilitates through-spindle operations, while the D1-6 spindle nose ensures compatibility with standard tooling. Variable spindle speeds ranging from 60 to 2600 RPM accommodate diverse materials and cutting requirements, from rigid roughing to precision finishing operations. Controlled by the Milltronics Centurion 6 CNC system, the machine delivers programmable multi-axis coordination for complex part profiles and automatic tool sequencing. The robust 7,000-pound cast iron construction provides thermal stability and vibration damping essential for accuracy maintenance during extended production runs. With 220-volt 3-phase electrical requirements, the machine is suitable for industrial shop environments. The substantial footprint of 120 x 60 x 76 inches accommodates integrated chip management and operator accessibility. This lathe serves industries requiring high-precision turned components, including aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing, where repeatability and dimensional accuracy are critical performance parameters.
