MODERN 609007 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC lathe engineered for precision cylindrical machining operations. The machine features a generous 12-inch chuck capacity paired with a 4-inch bar capacity, accommodating a wide range of workpiece diameters and lengths. With an 80-inch machining length and 22-inch swing diameter, the lathe provides substantial working envelope for extended parts production. The dual-axis (X and Z) configuration enables coordinated longitudinal and radial tool movements for turning, boring, and facing operations. Powered by a robust 15 HP motor, the lathe delivers consistent cutting force across its maximum spindle speed of 80 RPM, making it suitable for large-diameter, heavy-stock roughing and finishing operations. The low RPM specification indicates optimization for high-torque applications typical of bar work and large workpiece machining. The FAGOR 8055TC CNC control system manages all programmed movements with precision positioning and repeatability capabilities, offering modern computerized programming flexibility alongside automatic tool management and cycle optimization. This lathe configuration targets production environments requiring reliable machining of substantial components, particularly those demanding extended machining lengths and high material removal rates. The combination of larger chuck capacity and extended bed length, paired with substantial motor power, positions this machine for batch production of heavy industrial components, shafts, and similar cylindrical parts. The CNC control ensures consistent part quality and repeatability across production runs while minimizing operator intervention and setup times.
