SEIBU SNC-30PI CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe featuring a 5.9-inch chuck size designed for precision turning operations on small to medium workpieces. The machine accommodates bar stock up to 0.98 inches in diameter, making it suitable for automatic bar feeding applications in high-volume production environments. Equipped with a FANUC 21i-T control system, this lathe delivers advanced programming capabilities and user-friendly interface for complex machining sequences. The 7.4 hp spindle motor provides sufficient cutting power for efficient material removal across various alloys and hardened steels. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, the machine enables rapid machining cycles and faster production rates, particularly beneficial for intricate workpiece geometries requiring higher rotational speeds. The dual-axis configuration (X and Z) allows fundamental turning, facing, and threading operations with fixed-position turret tooling, typically offering 8 to 24 tool stations for streamlined job setup and reduced changeover time. This entry-level CNC lathe is ideal for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring reliable precision turning with minimal operator intervention. The compact footprint and moderate power consumption make it well-suited for small to mid-sized manufacturing operations seeking cost-effective automation without sacrificing machining capability or accuracy.
