PRECITEC FL-6 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Precitec FL-6 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty floor or pit lathe designed for large-scale turning operations, featuring a robust construction to accommodate substantial workpieces. With a swing capacity of 10.66 feet (3250 mm) and a center distance of 98.43 feet (30,000 mm), this lathe is engineered for machining exceptionally large components with high precision and stability. The machine operates at a maximum spindle speed of 12.5 RPM, optimized for controlled, accurate turning of heavy materials, ensuring consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Although designated as a manual lathe, it incorporates CNC control, allowing for programmable operations, enhanced repeatability, and integration with automated workflows. The CNC system provides precise spindle positioning and axis movement, supporting complex machining cycles and reducing operator dependency for improved productivity. The lathe’s rigid bed and guideways ensure minimal deflection under load, maintaining accuracy even during prolonged use. Suitable for industries requiring the machining of oversized parts such as energy, aerospace, and heavy machinery, the Precitec FL-6 Manual Lathe combines manual flexibility with CNC precision, making it ideal for both prototyping and production environments. Its design prioritizes durability, ease of maintenance, and operator safety, with accessible controls and robust protective features. This lathe is a versatile solution for demanding turning applications where size, accuracy, and reliability are paramount.
