RETRO PROTURN SLX 555/1750 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a machining length of 68.89 inches, enabling the production of long workpieces with high precision. It is powered by a 14.75 hp motor delivering robust spindle performance to efficiently handle demanding turning tasks. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 1,800 RPM, suitable for a wide range of material types and cutting conditions. The maximum turning diameter is 24.41 inches, allowing for the machining of relatively large-diameter components. Control is managed via the ProtoTRAK SLX CNC system, a two-axis CNC and DRO platform known for user-friendly operation and flexibility. The ProtoTRAK SLX offers a 10.4-inch color active-matrix display with graphical programming, electronic handwheels for manual control, and advanced functions such as thread repair, taper cutting, and radius/fillet machining. The control system supports incremental and absolute mode operation and provides tool offset management, which enhances accuracy and reduces setup time. This machine is engineered for toolroom and production environments requiring precision turning, combining powerful spindle capabilities with a versatile, operator-friendly CNC interface. Its specifications position it well for machining medium to large parts where both length and diameter capacity are critical. The integration of the ProtoTRAK SLX CNC ensures efficient programming and reliable repeatability across batches, improving overall workflow and part quality.
