SFM CHT56120 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **55.8-inch swing** and a **118-inch machining length**, enabling it to handle large and long workpieces with ease. It is equipped with the **FANUC Series 0iTC control system**, a highly reliable and precise CNC platform designed for milling, turning, punching, and grinding applications. The FANUC 0iTC model offers fast, accurate performance supported by advanced motion control technologies such as High Response Vector Control (HRV 3) that enhance surface finish, reduce cycle time, and improve overall machining accuracy. The system supports up to 12 servo axes, multiple spindle controls, and multi-path interference management, facilitating complex machining operations with high precision and reliability. Additionally, bell-shaped acceleration/deceleration profiles minimize machine shock and optimize cycle times. Safety functions including Safe Stop and Safe I/O, along with high-speed communication options like EtherNet/IP and PROFINET, ensure secure and efficient operation. The control’s intuitive interface allows for customizable screen layouts and shop-floor programming via FANUC’s MANUAL GUIDE i, increasing ease of use and operator productivity. With a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 52 years, the FANUC 0iTC system ensures both operational longevity and maintenance friendliness. This combination of a large machining envelope and robust CNC control makes the machine ideal for high-precision, complex turning tasks requiring superior surface quality and efficiency.
