SMART MACHINE TOOL NL 5000M-1200 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center is a robust 3-axis machine designed for heavy-duty precision machining operations. With a swing diameter of 31.1 inches and maximum turning diameter of 22.05 inches, it accommodates medium to large workpieces efficiently. The 44-inch machining length provides substantial capacity for extended part production, making it suitable for manufacturing shafts, flanges, and custom components. The machine features a 21-inch chuck for secure workpiece clamping and maintains a 6.55-inch bar capacity, allowing for continuous feeding of bar stock material. Powered by a 60 HP spindle motor, this turning center delivers substantial cutting force and torque necessary for aggressive machining operations. The 1,500 RPM maximum spindle speed is optimized for larger diameter work and heavy-duty cuts, ensuring stability and precision during high-load operations. The CNC control system enables automated programming and repeatability, supporting multi-axis simultaneous movements for improved cycle times and part accuracy. The 3-axis configuration provides X, Z, and typically C-axis or secondary tooling capability, expanding machining versatility beyond basic turning operations. This machine is particularly well-suited for industries requiring large-part machining with excellent rigidity, such as aerospace component manufacturing, heavy equipment production, and industrial machinery fabrication. Its combination of substantial swing capacity, extended machining length, and powerful spindle makes it an ideal platform for production runs requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and surface finish on large workpieces.
