NILES-SIMMONS N20LT CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 2-axis configuration with a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM, suitable for precision turning operations. It accommodates workpieces up to 13.9 inches in turning diameter and provides a maximum machining length of 34.6 inches, enabling the handling of moderately sized components. The lathe has a swing measurement of 20.5 inches, allowing clearance for larger diameter parts over the bed. It includes a tailstock, enhancing support for longer or slender workpieces during machining processes. The machine's overall dimensions are 15.1 x 10.2 x 7.5 feet, indicating a sizable footprint, and it weighs 16,535 pounds, suggesting a robust build for stability and rigidity. Control is managed by a Siemens Sinumerik 840C CNC system, a reliable and advanced controller that facilitates precise programming and automated machining. This setup is ideal for applications requiring moderate to high-precision turning within the specified size constraints, leveraging CNC control for repeatability and efficiency. The machine's specifications strike a balance between workpiece size capacity and machining precision typical for industrial CNC lathes handling various metalworking tasks.
