SMTCL CAK50I CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning machine features a **maximum turning diameter of 19.6 inches** and a **swing of 19.7 inches**, supporting efficient machining of mid-sized workpieces. It is equipped with a **2-axis CNC control system** enabling precise automated control of both the longitudinal (Z-axis) and cross (X-axis) movements, ensuring accurate cutting and shaping operations. The machine is driven by a **10 hp spindle motor**, providing sufficient power for heavy-duty cutting and maintaining stable spindle speeds for optimal surface finish and tool life. A built-in **tailstock** is included, which provides additional support for long or slender workpieces, reducing deflection and vibration during turning. This feature enhances dimensional accuracy and surface quality, particularly in axial operations like drilling or boring. The machine’s overall **weight of approximately 6393 lbs** reflects a robust construction designed to maximize rigidity, stability, and vibration dampening during machining processes. With CNC control, the lathe allows for complex, repeatable operations with programmable feed rates and spindle speeds, enhancing productivity and part consistency. This combination of turning diameter, power, and dual-axis control makes the machine suitable for precision manufacturing in medium-scale production environments, accommodating diverse cylindrical parts requiring reliable accuracy and surface quality. The sturdy build and tailstock support further complement its capabilities for sustained high-precision machining tasks.
