Technical Description
This CNC lathe machine features a **24-inch swing** and an **80-inch machining length**, allowing it to accommodate and machine relatively large workpieces with precision. It is controlled by the **FAGOR 8055 TC CNC system**, a robust and versatile controller designed for turning machines with advanced functionality. The FAGOR 8055 TC supports up to 3 interpolated axes and offers comprehensive operating modes including execution, single block, MDI/teach-in, jog/manual, communications, and conversational programming modes. It features a fully alphanumeric keyboard input and USB/serial communication ports for easy program uploading and offline programming integration.
The control is capable of running a wide range of canned cycles such as turning, facing, taper turning, slot milling, drilling, boring, reaming, and thread repair, including innovative options like mid-program start and tool calibration without spindle stoppage. It supports programmable spindle speeds and override controls for feedrate and spindle speed, providing agility in machining operations. With a spindle speed control range and feedrate precision to 0.00001 inches/min, it ensures high accuracy. The system includes a high-speed integrated PLC with 16 inputs and 8 outputs for complex machine automation.
Additional features include comprehensive tool management, support for spindle synchronization, tangential control for maintaining tool angle during profile machining, and an onboard graphic editor for quick program adjustments. The control's power supply is wide-ranging (85VAC to 265VAC, single phase), suited for diverse industrial environments. This combination of a large capacity lathe with the FAGOR 8055 TC CNC control offers precise, efficient, and flexible turning operations for medium to large workpieces.
