PENTAMAC QT 500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 7.08-inch swing, 8.97 hp power output, and a maximum spindle speed of 2,800 RPM, making it suitable for a wide range of turning operations. It is equipped with a tailstock for enhanced workpiece support and stability during machining. The machine is controlled by the VISEL VSC990-T CNC system, which provides advanced functionality for turning applications, including linear, circular, and helicoidal interpolation, as well as macro programming for fixed cycles such as drilling and milling. The control system allows for precise management of spindle speed and position, with integrated tool and workpiece origin management, and supports both manual and automatic operation modes. The VSC990-T interface offers an intuitive, interactive graphic display for easy programming and monitoring, with real-time visualization of axis coordinates, spindle load, and cycle status. The machine also includes a work counter for tracking production output and spindle override controls for fine-tuning machining parameters. With a robust construction weighing 1,700 lbs, this lathe ensures high rigidity and vibration damping for improved accuracy and surface finish. The combination of powerful performance, versatile CNC control, and reliable mechanical design makes this lathe ideal for precision turning tasks in demanding production environments.
