SMART NL2000-50 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This is a mid-range CNC lathe engineered for versatile turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a swing over bed of 22.44 inches, enabling work with components up to 15 inches in maximum turning diameter, while the maximum turning length capacity of 21.26 inches accommodates longer parts within the machine's mechanical limitations. The 8-inch chuck size provides adequate workholding for standard applications, supported by a 2.56-inch bar capacity for automated stock feeding. The spindle assembly delivers 20/25 horsepower with a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, making it suitable for both roughing operations on larger diameter parts and sustained production runs. The dual-axis configuration (X and Z) controls radial movement and longitudinal positioning respectively, with X-axis travel of 9.06 inches and Z-axis travel of 22.05 inches, defining the effective cutting envelope. The A2-6 spindle nose represents a standard interface for tooling compatibility. The 12-station turret accommodates a comprehensive array of external and internal cutting tools, enabling multiple operations—including turning, threading, drilling, and facing—without workpiece repositioning. Manual Guide i controls provide programmable automation for repeatable precision, achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. At 9,000 pounds, the robust machine structure ensures stability during cutting operations. This configuration targets job shops and production facilities requiring efficient, precise cylindrical component manufacturing with operational flexibility.
