SUMMIT SC20X52 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The Fagor 8055 TC CNC lathe control is a sophisticated system designed for high-production turning centers, vertical lathes, and parallel lathes, offering 2-3 axis control capability with optional expansion up to 7 axes and dual spindle synchronization. This compact lathe configuration features a 20-inch swing capacity and 52-inch machining length, providing substantial work envelope for precision turning operations. The control system is equipped with comprehensive communications capabilities including RS-232 serial communication at 115,200 baud, USB ports for program uploading, and optional Ethernet connectivity via TCP-IP protocol. The alphanumeric keyboard interface provides full operational flexibility across multiple modes: execution, single-block, MDI/Teach-In, jog/manual, and conversational programming. Advanced machining features include a full range of canned cycles for turning, facing, and taper turning operations. The system supports linear, circular, and helical interpolation with tangential control functionality for maintaining precise cutting angles throughout complex profiles. Additional capabilities encompass spindle orientation (M19), synchronized spindle control, and integrated PLC with 16 inputs and 8 outputs for high-speed logic operations. Tool management is enhanced through automatic tool calibration, tool inspection with auto-return capability, and mid-program start functionality. The control accommodates up to 999,999 main programs with 15 nesting levels, offering feedrate precision from 0.00001 to 7,900 inches/minute. Automatic input voltage sensing supports 85-265VAC single-phase operation, ensuring operational flexibility in diverse shop environments.
