SHANGHAI SIGMA SC-36P CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This compact CNC lathe features a 16.14-inch swing capacity, accommodating workpieces up to 7.87 inches in turning diameter. The machine operates with a 2-axis control system, providing synchronized X and Z-axis movement for precise longitudinal and radial cutting operations. Powered by a 7.37 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force across its operating range. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient machining of various materials from soft aluminum to harder steel alloys. The system utilizes GSK980TD CNC control, a reliable industrial controller offering programmable speed control, multiple feed rate options, and automatic tool compensation capabilities. This configuration makes the lathe well-suited for small to medium production runs, prototype development, and job shop applications where versatility and accuracy are essential. The 2-axis design simplifies programming while maintaining the capability to produce complex turned components. The 7.37 hp motor provides adequate power for interrupted cuts and varying material densities. With its moderate swing diameter and robust spindle performance, this machine represents an efficient solution for shops requiring precision turning capabilities in a space-conscious footprint. The GSK980TD control system is user-friendly and widely supported, facilitating easy integration into existing manufacturing workflows. This lathe is particularly suitable for educational institutions, tool and die shops, and contract manufacturers seeking dependable turning capabilities with straightforward operation and maintenance.
