SHANGHAI SIGMA SC-36G CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a precision turning machine equipped with the GSK980TD control system, a 32-bit high-performance controller featuring advanced servo drive technology and multi-turn absolute encoders that deliver 1nm position accuracy. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 16.14 inches in swing diameter with a maximum turning diameter of 7.87 inches, while the 11.42-inch machining length provides adequate capacity for various production applications. The 6-inch chuck secures workpieces reliably during turning operations. Powered by a 7.37 hp motor, the lathe operates at speeds up to 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across diverse machining scenarios. The GSK980TD controller supports up to 5 axes of simultaneous control with linear and circular interpolation capabilities. The system features rapid positioning speeds from 0-100,000 mm/min with four levels of real-time adjustment, while cutting feed speeds range from 0-15,000 mm/min with sixteen magnification levels. The controller includes 69 G-commands covering rapid positioning, linear/circular interpolation, thread cutting, rigid tapping, and tool compensation functions. Advanced programming capabilities incorporate thread cutting with constant and variable pitch, multiple pass cycles, and tool life management. The embedded PLC uses Chinese ladder programming with 8ms cycle time for precise control operations. The system supports metric and inch programming with automatic diameter/radius conversion, making it versatile for diverse manufacturing requirements. Built-in tool compensation features include length, wear, and nose radius compensation for superior dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
