SUMMIT SC20X60 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 20-inch swing and a 60-inch machining length, designed for precision turning operations on medium to large workpieces. It is equipped with the advanced FAGOR 8055 TC control system, which provides robust programming and operational capabilities. The control supports multiple communication interfaces including RS-232, USB, and optional Ethernet and SERCOS, enabling seamless integration with offline programming systems and network environments. The FAGOR 8055 TC offers a fully alphanumeric keyboard, a high-resolution TFT display (optional), and intuitive conversational programming for simplified operation. It supports up to 3-axis control, canned cycles for turning, facing, taper turning, and threading, as well as user-defined cycles and background editing. The control features automatic tool calibration, tool inspection with auto-return, mid-program start, and programmable spindle speeds. It also includes override controls for feedrate and spindle, zero offsets, and an on-board graphic editor for program visualization. The system supports both ISO and high-level programming languages, with interactive and icon-based editing. PLC integration provides 16 digital inputs and 8 outputs for automation and machine interfacing. The control’s high-speed RS-232 port operates at 115 K baud, and USB connectivity allows for easy program transfer. Additional features include spindle orientation (M19), linear and circular interpolation, tangential control, and retrace functions. The machine’s robust construction and advanced control system make it suitable for high-precision, high-efficiency production environments.
