MORI SEIKI SL-5 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 15" overall size with a standard machining diameter of 12.2". It supports a maximum swing over bed of 24.4" and swing over carriage of 13", providing ample clearance for diverse turning operations. The machine offers a maximum longitudinal travel (Z-axis) of 42.1" and a cross travel (X-axis) of 12.2", with a distance between centers of 43.3", enabling the machining of long workpieces. The floor-to-spindle center height stands at 45.3", ensuring ergonomic access. Spindle specifications include an A2-8 spindle nose with a through-hole diameter of 3.03", suitable for bar feeding or other applications requiring central spindle clearance. The turret is equipped with 12 tool positions, facilitating versatile tooling arrangements for complex machining cycles. Control is managed by the Fanuc System 6T CNC, Model B—a high-accuracy, closed-loop fixed-software CNC control well-regarded for reliable and precise servo-driven motor control using high-performance pulse encoders. It supports comprehensive input/output management, velocity control, and manual data input via a keyboard and CRT display, enhancing operational ease and programmability. This configuration is optimal for turning operations requiring precision, with substantial travel ranges and robust tooling support combined with the proven reliability and extensive features of the Fanuc 6T control family. The combination of mechanical specifications and CNC capabilities makes it suitable for medium to large-sized workpieces in diverse manufacturing environments.
