PRECITEC SRI CHAKRA 2000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning lathe features a maximum machining length of 78.74 inches with 2-axis control, optimized for precision turning tasks. It is equipped with a 23.62-inch diameter chuck and supports a turning diameter of 23.62 inches, providing robust capacity for medium-sized workpieces. The machine includes a tailstock for additional support during long or slender part machining, enhancing stability and accuracy. Powered by a 29.5 hp motor, it delivers substantial torque for effective cutting performance. The CNC control system is the FANUC OI, a reliable and versatile controller known for fast processing, up to 4 simultaneously controlled axes, and advanced motion control functions such as linear and circular interpolation, tool compensation, and flexible feed gearing. This control offers user-friendly programming with features like conversational programming (MANUAL GUIDE i), high-speed and high-quality machining, and integrated safety functions including FANUC’s Dual Check Safety. The system supports precise incremental adjustments at micron and small angular scales, ramped acceleration/deceleration, and rapid feed override capabilities. The FANUC OI’s robust PMC (Programmable Machine Control) interface enables peripheral device management and energy monitoring for efficient operation. Suitable for medium-complexity turning operations requiring reliable CNC precision and control, this machine balances power, support accessories, and advanced control for versatile manufacturing applications.
