MILLTRONICS ML40/160 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC lathe engineered for large-scale cylindrical machining operations. The machine features a 2-inch bar capacity with a substantial 40-inch swing diameter and 160-inch machining length, making it suitable for extended workpieces and large-diameter components. The dual-axis configuration (X and Y) enables precise control of radial and longitudinal positioning for complex turning operations. Powered by a robust 35 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers exceptional cutting force and capability across diverse materials including steel, aluminum, and exotic alloys. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 900 RPM, the machine prioritizes torque and material removal rate over high-speed finishing, ideal for heavy roughing and production work. The equipped tailstock provides essential support for longer workpieces, preventing deflection and ensuring dimensional accuracy during extended cutting operations. The MILLTRONICS 8200-B CNC control system offers programmable automation, reducing operator intervention while enabling repeatable, precise machining of complex geometries. This control integrates standard G-code programming for seamless production flexibility. The machine's rigid construction accommodates sustained heavy cuts with minimal vibration, critical for maintaining tolerances on high-precision components. Overall, this CNC lathe represents industrial-grade production equipment designed for demanding manufacturing environments requiring reliable, accurate turning of large components with exceptional repeatability and uptime.
