MODERN CHALLENGER BCN CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a robust design engineered for high-precision turning operations on large workpieces. The swing over bed is 28 inches, allowing ample clearance for cylindrical parts, while the swing over gap of 35.5 inches provides additional flexibility for machining larger diameters near the gap area. The swing over cross slide is 18.1 inches, accommodating workpieces that require tool access close to the spindle. With a distance between centers of 120 inches, this lathe is well-suited for long shafts and extended components. The spindle nose utilizes a D1-8 Camlock configuration, ensuring secure and accurate tool mounting, and the spindle bore measures 4 1/8 inches, supporting the passage of large bar stock. The 3-speed headstock, equipped with hydraulic shift, delivers a broad RPM range from 30 to 1800, enabling optimal cutting speeds for various materials and operations. Power is supplied by a 20 HP main motor drive, providing the torque necessary for heavy-duty machining tasks. The turret arrangement consists of an 8-position turret, allowing for efficient tool changes and complex multi-operation setups. Control is managed through the Fagor 8055TC CNC system, offering advanced programming capabilities, precise axis control, and reliable operation for both simple and intricate part geometries. This lathe combines high capacity, versatility, and precision, making it ideal for demanding production environments.
