TRAVIS TR-4 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe machine features a **swing capacity of 33.07 inches**, indicating the maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be machined without obstruction. It provides a **machining length of 157.48 inches**, allowing for long and extended parts to be turned with precision. The machine operates at a **maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM**, balancing speed and torque necessary for various materials and cutting operations. Controlled by advanced **CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology**, it enables automated, precise tool positioning and complex machining tasks with high repeatability and accuracy. This combination of swing, length, and spindle speed makes it suitable for machining large cylindrical parts within its diameter and length constraints, supporting operations such as turning, facing, threading, and drilling. The swing measurement corresponds to the largest diameter of a workpiece that can be accommodated over the cross slide or bed, vital for matching lathe capacity to specific workpiece dimensions. The extensive machining length supports components requiring long travel along the Z-axis. The maximum RPM of 1,500 allows turning of heavier or larger diameter workpieces with adequate surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Overall, this CNC lathe is engineered for heavy-duty, large-format precision turning, ideal for manufacturing parts with significant length and diameter requirements under automated and repeatable CNC control.
