Technical Description

This industrial CNC lathe features an 8" chuck, 16" swing, and a 30" machining length, making it suitable for a wide range of turning applications. It operates on a 2-axis system with a bar capacity of 2.12", allowing for efficient processing of both small and medium-sized workpieces. The machine is powered by a 5.6 kW motor, delivering robust performance with a maximum spindle speed of 2,500 RPM for high-precision machining. A tailstock is included to support longer workpieces and enhance stability during operation. The lathe measures 82" in length, 40" in width, and 71" in height, with a total weight of 2,720 lbs, ensuring solid rigidity and vibration resistance. Control is managed through the ProtoTRAK SLX CNC system, which provides intuitive, geometry-based programming, automatic tool nose radius compensation, and advanced graphics for easy setup and operation. The control supports both incremental and absolute dimensions, circular and linear interpolation, and offers a clear, prompted interface for streamlined workflow. The system also features electronic handwheels for manual operation, a 10.4" color active-matrix screen, and comprehensive tool offset management. With its combination of power, precision, and user-friendly controls, this lathe is ideal for demanding production environments requiring reliable, repeatable results.
