MORI SEIKI SL-2 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a robust 10" chuck and a maximum swing over bed of 15.75", allowing for versatile machining of medium-sized parts. The system offers 6.3" travel on the X-axis and 16.14" on the Z-axis, supporting a wide range of turning operations. Equipped with a spindle having a 2.2" through-hole and an A1-6 spindle nose, it accommodates long stock feeding and versatile tooling. The spindle speed ranges from 35 to 3,200 RPM, driven by a powerful 15 HP motor capable of handling demanding cutting tasks. The 10-position tool turret enhances productivity by allowing multiple tools to be mounted and quickly indexed for different operations. The machine is controlled by a Fanuc 6T CNC system with a CRT display, a closed-loop control designed for high accuracy and reliability in turning applications. The Fanuc 6T system integrates velocity feedback via pulse encoders for precise spindle speed control, and features self-diagnostics and user-friendly CRT-based data input and display. This controller supports reliable motor velocity control, I/O signal management, and parameter monitoring for acceleration, speed, and diagnostics, making it suitable for a variety of complex turning tasks. Overall, the combination of mechanical capacity and the proven Fanuc 6T CNC control ensures this lathe is well-suited for high-performance, accurate, and flexible CNC turning operations.
