SOUTHWESTERN INDUSTRIES TRAK TRL 2460V CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 12" 3-jaw chuck and a 2-axis CNC configuration controlled by the ProtoTRAK VL CNC system, known for its user-friendly interface and robust Windows 95 OSR2-based processor. It is powered by a 15 HP motor capable of reaching a maximum spindle speed of 1,800 RPM, suitable for machining medium to large workpieces. The machine supports a 24" swing over the bed and a maximum machining length of 60", providing ample capacity for various turning operations. Equipped with a tailstock, it facilitates support for long or slender workpieces. The overall machine dimensions are 117" in length, 59" in width, and 77" in height, with a substantial weight of 8,000 lbs, reflecting its rigid build for precision and stability during machining. The CNC control includes features such as programmable spindle speed, feedrate and speed overrides, electronic handwheels for precise manual control, and protection via limit switches to prevent axis crashes. Precision-ground ballscrews ensure backlash-free, smooth contours. The control features an LCD display for clear visualization of prompts, status, and part graphics, alongside RS232 connectivity for computer interfacing. The machine's robust construction and advanced CNC control make it suitable for toolroom or production shop environments requiring reliable, precise turning capabilities.
