The bed incorporates a 4-way shear bed design with dual way center guides and front lateral way support for enhanced carriage stability under cutting loads. Variable spindle speeds are delivered through four automatic ranges via a totally enclosed universal inch/metric gearbox. Standard accessories include a hydraulic H4 turret, rotatory tailstock quill with 235mm diameter, and motorized tailstock body and quill movement for enhanced operational efficiency. The machine features a 6-way rapid traverse and power feed to the top slide, coupled with a pressurized one-shot lubrication system for the cross slide and carriage. Control options include FANUC, FAGOR, or SIEMENS CNC systems, making this lathe suitable for demanding production environments requiring precision and reliability.
