PROMPT 1440 ENC MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PROMPT 1440 ENC Manual Lathe features a 14.0-inch swing capacity and 39.4-inch distance between centers, accommodating medium-sized turning operations. It is equipped with a 1.5-inch spindle bore, enabling it to handle bar stock of substantial diameter. The lathe operates at spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM, suitable for a range of material types and machining tasks. The swing over cross slide is 8.0 inches, allowing for versatile cross slide machining with a CNC control system, which integrates computer numerical control for precise and repeatable operations. This lathe is designed for manual and CNC hybrid use, providing flexibility for various production and prototyping needs. Its built-in CNC control enhances cutting accuracy and allows programming for complex machining patterns. The machine structure offers robust stability to minimize vibrations and improve finish quality. Ideal for research, education, and light industrial applications, the PROMPT 1440 ENC delivers reliable performance on components requiring up to 14-inch diameters and long workpieces, balanced with moderate spindle speed for controlled cutting forces and tool life. The inclusion of CNC control also enables automated operation, improving throughput and repeatability compared to fully manual lathes. Its specification positions it in the category of precision flatbed lathes suited for turning, facing, threading, and boring operations on shafts, bushings, and cylindrical parts.
