RETRO PROTURN SLX 425/2000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The TRAK TRL CNC lathe equipped with ProtoTRAK SLX control represents a versatile mid-range precision machining solution designed for both production and toolroom applications. This machine features a maximum turning diameter of 19.68 inches over the bed with a machining length capacity of 78.74 inches, providing substantial workpiece accommodation for diverse turning operations. The spindle delivers peak rotational speeds of 2,500 RPM with a 10.04 horsepower motor, enabling efficient material removal across a wide range of workpiece materials and diameters. The ProtoTRAK SLX CNC control system provides two-axis simultaneous control with an integrated 10.4-inch color active-matrix display, offering both automatic CNC machining and manual DRO (digital readout) functionality. The control features geometry-based programming capabilities, automatic tool nose radius compensation, and support for complex machining operations including tapers, radii, and fillets. Electronic handwheels facilitate intuitive manual operation, while the system accommodates tool libraries and servo motor positioning for enhanced setup efficiency. This lathe configuration is particularly suited for applications requiring moderate workpiece dimensions with the capability to execute intricate profiles and repetitive productions. The combination of adequate spindle horsepower, reasonable speed range, and sophisticated CNC control makes this machine adaptable for small to medium job shops, prototype development, and maintenance operations where flexibility and precision are essential requirements.
