TELFORD CNC LATHE FCL-160A CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe represents a fundamental precision turning machine designed for symmetrical and straightforward cylindrical part manufacturing. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 12.99 inches in swing diameter and 11.42 inches in machining length, making it suitable for small-to-medium production runs. The 6-inch chuck capacity and 1.77-inch bar stock capacity support efficient material handling for various applications, while the 7.87-inch maximum turning diameter enables versatile part geometry within the machine's operational envelope. Powered by 14.75 horsepower and capable of reaching 4,000 RPM, this lathe delivers adequate torque and speed for general turning operations on castings, forgings, and standard cylindrical components. The included tailstock provides crucial support for longer workpieces during machining, enhancing precision and reducing vibration. Live tooling capability expands operational flexibility by enabling secondary operations such as drilling, threading, and cross-axis machining without requiring workpiece repositioning. The CNC control system, compatible with industry-standard controllers including Siemens, Mitsubishi, Fanuc, SYNTEC, and GSK platforms, eliminates manual operation and delivers precision levels as tight as ±0.0005 inches with exceptional repeatability across production batches. The absence of a sub-spindle limits simultaneous multi-operation capability but maintains cost-effectiveness for applications not requiring advanced simultaneous machining. This configuration balances precision, capability, and production efficiency for manufacturers prioritizing reliable performance on standard turning applications.
