NILES-SIMMONS N10 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe features a robust 50 hp motor designed for heavy-duty production environments. With a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, the machine delivers consistent power across a wide range of materials and cutting conditions. The 22.05-inch swing capacity accommodates mid-sized workpieces, making it suitable for small to medium batch production runs. The machining length of 51.18 inches provides extended capacity for longer components, enabling efficient through-spindle operations. The integrated tailstock functionality enhances versatility, allowing for steady-rest support during extended cutting operations and enabling between-center machining for increased dimensional accuracy. This feature is essential for minimizing deflection on slender workpieces and improving surface finish quality. The machine operates under the SINUMERIK 840D sl control system, a state-of-the-art industrial CNC platform offering advanced programming capabilities, real-time diagnostics, and seamless integration with modern manufacturing systems. This control architecture provides high-precision positioning with closed-loop feedback systems, enabling tight tolerances and repeatable part production. The 2-axis configuration delivers straightforward X and Z-axis motion suitable for cylindrical turning operations, simple face turning, and threading applications. This streamlined design minimizes complexity while maintaining production efficiency. The 50 hp motor combined with 6,000 RPM capability generates sufficient torque for both roughing and finishing operations across various material hardnesses, making this machine ideal for general-purpose production environments requiring reliable performance and consistent quality output.
