TRAK TRL2470RX CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The TRAK-2470RX is a precision CNC turning center engineered for versatile production and job-shop applications. Featuring a 24-inch maximum swing over bed and 70-inch distance between centers, this lathe accommodates medium to large-diameter workpieces with a maximum cutting diameter of 12.5 inches. The 12-inch chuck combined with a 4.09-inch spindle bore provides substantial workholding capacity for complex turning operations. Operating at speeds up to 1,800 RPM with a robust 15 HP spindle motor, the machine delivers consistent power for demanding cuts and interrupted operations. The D1-8 spindle nose ensures compatibility with standard tooling. The ProtoTRAK RLX CNC control system integrates manual and CNC functionality, offering an intuitive touchscreen interface with easy prompted programming and powerful solid model graphics for verification. Eight tool positions enable rapid tool indexing and automated tool changes through optional turrets, minimizing setup time and maximizing productivity. The control features programmable spindle speeds, both Inch Per Revolution (IPR) and Constant Surface Speed (CSS) programming modes, and real handwheels for manual operation. Precision ground ballscrews and brushless servo motors ensure accurate positioning and fast repeatability across production runs. The inverter-duty spindle drive provides flexible speed control, while the DXF converter option streamlines CAD-to-part workflows. This configuration combines rigid construction with user-friendly programming capabilities, making it ideal for tool and die shops, contract manufacturers, and facilities requiring flexible CNC and manual turning capacity.
