PRECITEC SRI CHAKRA 2500 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC turning center equipped with a FANUC 0i control system, designed for precision lathe operations. The machine features a maximum machining length of 98.43 inches, providing substantial capacity for extended workpiece handling. The 13.78-inch chuck size accommodates a wide range of part diameters, while the maximum turning diameter of 23.62 inches enables machining of larger cylindrical components. The integrated tailstock expands versatility for through-spindle and between-centers operations, supporting longer workpieces and improving rigidity during turning cycles. Powered by a 29.5 horsepower motor, this turning center delivers sufficient torque for both roughing and finishing operations across various materials. The FANUC 0i CNC control system provides advanced motion control capabilities with digital servo functions for precise axis positioning and contoured path generation. The 2-axis configuration enables simultaneous controlled movements for efficient threading, grooving, and turning operations. Standard features of the FANUC 0i platform include automatic operation capabilities, manual intervention options, and comprehensive manual reference positioning functions. The control system supports multiple spindle speeds and offers manual guide conversational programming for simplified job shop applications. This configuration represents an ideal solution for job shop environments performing diverse turning operations including drilling, turning, grooving, and threading. The combination of adequate power, extended machining length, and proven FANUC control technology ensures reliable performance and ease of operation for both experienced and novice operators in production or prototype applications.
