SMART MACHINE TOOL NL 6000-2200 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe designed for large-diameter turning operations and extended workpiece lengths. The machine features a robust 24-inch chuck capable of handling bar stock up to 6.55 inches in diameter, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. With a swing diameter of 40.55 inches and maximum turning diameter of 37.80 inches, this lathe accommodates substantial workpieces while maintaining precision machining capabilities. The extended machining length of 88.70 inches enables production of elongated components without requiring multiple setups, reducing throughput time and potential for errors. Powered by a 54.4 kW motor with a maximum spindle speed of 1,200 RPM, the machine prioritizes torque over speed, making it ideal for heavy interrupted cuts and rigid turning operations on cast iron, steel, and other demanding materials. The 2-axis configuration provides simultaneous X and Z-axis control for precise diameter and length programming. CNC control ensures repeatability and accuracy capabilities reaching ±0.0001 inches, significantly superior to manual machining. The machine's construction emphasizes structural rigidity and robust linear motion systems to minimize variation during operation, critical factors for maintaining tight tolerances on large-diameter parts. This configuration is well-suited for heavy manufacturing sectors including automotive transmission shafts and large industrial components requiring IT7-IT8 tolerance levels.
