SMTCL CS460 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe features powerful 18.5 kW motor output coupled with a maximum spindle speed of 3,000 RPM, designed for efficient turning operations along the X and Z axes. The machine supports a swing diameter of 11.42 inches, allowing for medium-size workpieces suitable for a range of precision machining tasks. The two-axis control system facilitates linear tool movements in the radial (X) and axial (Z) directions, enabling accurate diameter and length machining of cylindrical parts. Equipped with robust CNC control, the lathe ensures high repeatability and precision for batch production of symmetrical and moderately complex components. The combination of power rating and spindle speed optimizes material removal rates while maintaining surface finish quality, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent machining of shafts, bushings, and sleeves. The compact swing capacity and motor power also enable quick setup and tool changes in manufacturing environments focusing on medium volume production runs. By integrating CNC control, the lathe offers automation with precise programmatic control over tool paths, minimizing operator intervention and improving overall machining efficiency. This configuration suits manufacturers seeking reliable, accurate turning solutions for moderately sized parts with straightforward geometries, leveraging the balance of power, speed, and control typical of 2-axis CNC lathes.
