SMART MACHINE TOOL NL 2000B CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on mid-range workpieces. With a 10-inch chuck and 3.19-inch bar capacity, the machine accommodates both larger diameter work and bar stock applications. The swing diameter of 22.4 inches and maximum turning diameter of 15.4 inches provide substantial machining capability for general-purpose turning tasks. The 21.7-inch machining length enables extended axial workpiece processing, making this lathe suitable for producing shafts, bushings, and similarly proportioned components. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM with 14.9 kW of power, the machine delivers adequate torque for interrupted cuts and production-rate machining. As a 2-axis system, it controls linear movement along the X-axis (for diameter adjustment) and Z-axis (for longitudinal positioning), providing the fundamental geometry control needed for standard turning operations including facing, boring, and threading. The CNC control system enables automated tool selection and positioning, eliminating manual intervention between cuts and supporting programmed multi-tool sequences. This configuration makes the lathe ideal for small to mid-size job shops and production environments requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and repeatability without the complexity of multi-axis systems. The balanced specifications between power, speed, and swing diameter position this machine as a versatile workhorse for conventional turning work, offering reliable precision turning capability within a practical footprint suitable for general manufacturing applications.
