SHIMADA 2SI-8 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a Fanuc Series 0i-TF control system, known for its advanced and reliable CNC functions optimized for turning applications. It supports up to 15 axes in a single path and offers high-speed threading, balanced cutting, tool-nose compensation, high-speed tapping, and comprehensive tool life management to maximize productivity and machining precision. The lathe accommodates a maximum turning diameter of 10.24 inches and a maximum turning length of 11.81 inches, with a spindle speed reaching up to 4,500 RPM and a spindle bore diameter of 2.2 inches, enabling versatile workpiece handling. Equipped with 8 tool stations, it allows for efficient multi-tool operations, reducing cycle time and setup changes. The rapid traverse rate is 787 inches per minute, facilitating swift non-cutting movements. The machine's robust construction weighs 6,614 lbs, providing stability and vibration dampening for enhanced surface finish quality. The Fanuc 0i-TF controller includes features such as controlled path interpolation, backlash compensation, and real-time spindle speed override, contributing to precise and smooth machining. It supports various threading cycles including multi-threading, continuous threading, and variable lead threading. Additional functions like spindle orientation and rigid tapping improve machining efficiency and accuracy. This lathe is suitable for medium-sized turned parts requiring precise, high-speed machining with reliable automation and advanced CNC control capabilities.
