SUMMIT SC32-15X111 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This lathe system features a **32-inch swing** and a **111-inch machining length**, enabling it to handle large and elongated workpieces with high precision. It is controlled by a **Fagor 8055TC CNC system**, a robust and versatile control unit designed for advanced turning applications. The Fagor 8055TC supports up to 2 to 3 axes control and offers a wide range of canned cycles including turning, facing, taper turning, and drilling operations, with interactive graphical editing and ISO programming for enhanced usability. It includes multiple communication ports such as RS232, RS422, and USB for offline programming and data exchange. The control allows fine feedrate adjustments from 0.00001 to 7900 inches per minute, ensuring accurate surface finishes and machining efficiency. It integrates a high-speed PLC with 16 digital inputs and 8 outputs, facilitating complex automation and spindle speed range changes across up to four gear selections for optimized torque and speed. Features such as spindle orientation, synchronization, and tangential control improve machining precision during threading and contouring operations. The system supports probe integration for tool calibration and part measuring, automatic tool path adjustments, and real-time feedback from handwheels and encoders. Its modular construction accommodates expansion via CAN or SERCOS interfaces and remote I/O modules. This lathe's CNC control offers a combination of manual mode as a digital readout system, semi-automatic operations, and full CNC automation, minimizing setup times and enhancing productivity for various lathe machining tasks.
