Technical Description

This dual-spindle CNC lathe features impressive turning capacity with 25 inches of X-travel and 125 inches of Z-travel, accommodating workpieces up to 22.4 inches in cutting diameter and 125 inches in length between centers. The primary spindle delivers 40 horsepower at 3,000 RPM with a 4-inch bar capacity, while the secondary spindle provides 20 horsepower at 4,000 RPM, both equipped with 12-inch chucks and 4.1-inch spindle bores featuring A2-8 noses. Rapid traverse rates of 944/1181 IPM enable efficient cycle times and part handling. The machine incorporates a 120-position tool turret with live milling capability reaching 8,000 RPM, providing versatile multi-axis machining functionality. A 12-inch steadyrest capacity supports long, slender workpieces during turning operations. The sophisticated Mori Seiki MSX-501 CNC control system manages all operations, offering advanced programming and automation capabilities for complex part production. The combination of dual spindles, extended Z-travel, and integrated live tooling makes this machine ideal for Swiss-style turning, bar work, and complex multi-operation parts requiring secondary machining. Its robust 40 HP primary spindle and responsive turret system deliver high-speed production rates while maintaining precision across diverse manufacturing applications.
