Technical Description
This CNC lathe machine features a **24-inch swing capacity** and a **60-inch machining length**, enabling the processing of moderate-sized workpieces with precise control. It is equipped with the **Fagor 8055 TC CNC control system**, a robust and versatile controller designed for both turning and milling operations. The Fagor 8055 TC supports 2-3 axis control with full alpha-numeric keyboard input and multiple communication ports (RS-232, RS-422, USB) facilitating offline programming and integration with advanced systems. It offers a wide range of canned cycles including turning, facing, taper turning, drilling, boring, reaming, and complex interpolation (linear, circular, helical), plus tangential control for optimized tool paths.
The control enables gear range management, allowing automatic adjustment of spindle speed and torque via up to four spindle speed ranges, enhancing machining efficiency across different cutting conditions. It includes a high-speed integrated PLC with extensive I/O ports, digital servo communication, and real-time spindle feedback, allowing precise and dynamic control of machining processes. The system supports advanced functions such as tool life monitoring, tool calibration, automatic part repetition, and memory backup of tool data, minimizing downtime and setup time. Its rugged, sealed design is built for demanding shop environments.
Overall, this lathe with Fagor 8055 TC control provides a flexible, reliable, and high-performance solution ideal for complex turning operations requiring precise speed control, programmable automation, and comprehensive tool management within a compact footprint.
