SHARP 2280NC CNC LATHE

The CK46D-8 is a precision slant bed CNC lathe engineered for comprehensive metal turning and milling operations. Featuring a 22-inch swing over bed, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 22 inches in diameter, making it suitable for mid-range production work. With an 80-inch distance between centers, the lathe provides extended capacity for longer workpieces, enabling efficient longitudinal machining of cylindrical components. The 3.38-inch spindle bore facilitates secure workholding and allows for through-spindle bar feeding capabilities, enhancing production flexibility. Controlled by a Fagor CNC controller, the machine delivers precise positioning and repeatability for complex turning operations. The integrated 10 HP geared head motor supplies adequate torque across a wide speed range, optimizing performance for both roughing and finishing cuts. The four-position toolpost configuration enables rapid tool changes without interrupting workflow, allowing sequential operations on a single workpiece setup. The slant bed design, typically inclined at 30 degrees, facilitates chip evacuation and provides ergonomic operator access. This architecture also enhances rigidity and thermal stability during extended cutting cycles. The machine combines accessibility with industrial-grade precision, making it ideal for job shops, contract manufacturers, and small to medium production facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities with consistent accuracy. The combination of extended center distance, adequate spindle capacity, and efficient tooling systems positions this lathe for diverse manufacturing applications.
