Technical Description
This CNC lathe features a robust design with a 14.96-inch swing and a machining length of 9.45 inches, accommodating workpieces up to 11.81 inches in turning diameter. Engineered for high-speed precision, it delivers a maximum spindle speed of 4,500 RPM, making it suitable for a wide range of turning applications. The machine is equipped with the GSK980TD CNC control system, a reliable and widely adopted solution in the industry. The GSK980TD utilizes a 32-bit high-performance CPU and super-large-scale programmable FPGA, ensuring fast processing and smooth operation. It supports control of up to 3 feeding axes (including C axis) and 2 analog spindles, with a least command increment of 0.001mm for fine machining accuracy. The system offers advanced interpolation capabilities, including linear and arc interpolation, as well as parabola and ellipse interpolation for complex profiles. Rapid traverse speed reaches up to 30 m/min, while cutting feed rates can be set up to 15 m/min. The control features comprehensive compensation functions such as pitch error, backlash, tool length, tool wear, and tool nose radius compensation, enhancing machining precision. It supports metric and inch programming, automatic chamfering, and macro command programming with parameterized macro calls. The system includes a large memory capacity for storing up to 384 part programs and features full-screen editing, convenient program management, and bidirectional communication with a PC. The GSK980TD also provides PLC axis control, spindle analog voltage control, and a user-friendly interface with Chinese, English, and Spanish display options, making it adaptable for diverse manufacturing environments.
