SUMMIT SC30-6X60 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **30-inch swing** and a **59-inch machining length**, making it suitable for medium to large-sized turning operations. It is controlled by the **Fagor 8055TC CNC system**, a versatile and robust control unit designed for multi-axis machine tools. The Fagor 8055TC offers support for up to 7 axes and 2 spindles, and includes advanced functions such as full ISO and Fagor programming capabilities, linear and circular interpolation, and tangential control to maintain the cutting tool angle on profiles. The control supports up to 4 spindle speed ranges, managed either automatically or manually via gear change functions (M41–M44), allowing optimal spindle speed and torque for various machining tasks. Its control panel integrates interactive graphic data entry, multiple operating modes including manual jog, automatic execution, conversational programming, and MDI/Teach-In modes. The system features comprehensive input/output connectivity with 16 digital inputs and 8 outputs standard, support for electronic handwheels, digital servo communication, and optional Ethernet connectivity. It also offers advanced tool management with up to 256 tool memory, automatic tool calibration, and support for multiple canned cycles for turning, taper turning, facing, and threading. This CNC lathe is engineered for precision and efficiency, enabling minimum setup time, part program storage, and seamless integration with off-line programming systems via RS232 and USB interfaces. Its rugged design combined with sophisticated control makes it ideal for both high-production environments and complex single-part machining.
