MILLTRONICS SL6 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 6-inch chuck with a maximum bar capacity of 1.65 inches, enabling it to securely hold medium-sized workpieces. It operates on 2 axes (X and Z), suitable for precise turning operations on symmetrical parts. The machine delivers 18 horsepower, offering ample power for various machining tasks, with a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM for efficient material removal. It supports a turning diameter of 12.25 inches and a swing of 20 inches, allowing for moderately large-diameter parts. The machining length extends up to 17 inches, accommodating medium-length components. Equipped with a tailstock, it provides additional support for longer workpieces during turning operations, improving stability and accuracy. The lathe is controlled via a CNC system—specifically the CENTURION 7 control—enabling automated, programmable machining with high repeatability and precision. This setup allows complex part geometries to be produced with minimal manual intervention, enhancing productivity and consistency. The combination of power, axis configuration, and control system makes this lathe well-suited for applications requiring precision turning of medium-sized cylindrical components in industries like automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
