SAMSUNG SL 1500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe represents a mid-range precision turning solution designed for small-to-medium workpiece production. The machine features a 20-inch swing over bed with a maximum turning diameter of 13.78 inches, enabling versatile part machining across various industries. With a machining length of 20.47 inches and a 6-inch chuck capacity, the lathe accommodates workpieces of substantial size while maintaining rigidity and precision. The 2-inch bar capacity supports efficient production of round stock components without frequent tool changes. Powered by a robust 20 hp motor, the machine delivers adequate torque for both light finishing operations and moderate cutting loads. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 6 RPM, making this lathe particularly suited for heavy-duty roughing operations and large-diameter workpiece turning where lower speeds and higher torque are essential. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) integration provides exceptional repeatability and precision, with accuracy levels typically achieving ±0.0005 inches, making it suitable for components requiring tight tolerances. The 2-axis configuration (X and Z axes) controls radial and longitudinal tool movement respectively, enabling creation of symmetrical and straightforward cylindrical parts. This machine excels in production environments requiring consistent quality across multiple part runs, offering superior precision and reliability compared to manual lathe operations. The combination of solid spindle horsepower, practical workpiece capacity, and CNC automation makes this lathe ideal for automotive, medical device, and industrial component manufacturing applications.
