MODERN BNC-2280XL CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC machine delivers robust performance for heavy-duty machining operations. Featuring a substantial 12-inch chuck and 4-inch bar capacity, it accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes and materials. The 22-inch swing diameter enables machining of larger components, while the extended 80-inch machining length provides ample working distance for complex part production. Powered by a 15 HP motor, this machine generates significant cutting force necessary for demanding applications in turning and boring operations. The 2-axis configuration allows simultaneous control of primary turning (X-axis) and axial movement (Z-axis), streamlining production workflows and reducing cycle times. The FAGOR 8055TC CNC controller integrates advanced programming capabilities with reliable automation, ensuring consistent part accuracy and repeatability across production runs. This controller supports standard ISO and DIN programming syntax, facilitating seamless integration with modern CAM software. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 80 RPM, this machine prioritizes torque over speed, making it ideal for heavy cuts, threading operations, and roughing passes on ferrous metals and tough alloys. The low RPM characteristic is typical of larger-capacity chucks designed to handle substantial radial loads without compromising tool life or surface finish quality. This machine represents an industrial-grade turning solution suitable for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring precision cylindrical work on medium to large diameter components. Its combination of power, capacity, and CNC control makes it effective for prototyping through mid-volume production environments.
