WILLIS 2680CNC CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe machine features a **bar capacity of 4 inches**, allowing it to handle medium-sized bar stock. It operates on a **2-axis** configuration, controlling motion typically along the X (cutting diameter) and Z (lengthwise) axes. Powered by a robust **20 hp motor**, it delivers strong cutting performance suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine offers a **maximum spindle speed of 10 RPM**, indicating it is optimized for slow-speed, high-torque operations, ideal for precision machining of large or hard materials. It accommodates a **26-inch swing**, which is the maximum diameter of the workpiece that can rotate without obstruction. The **machining length of 80 inches** provides a generous longitudinal capacity for extended parts or longer bar stock. Control is managed by a **CNC system equipped with a FANUC 0i-TC controller**, a reliable and widely used interface known for its precision and user-friendly programming, enhancing repeatability and accuracy in complex turning operations. This setup suits production environments requiring consistent, precise, and controlled machining of cylindrical components with medium size and length, commonly found in automotive, aerospace, or heavy industrial applications.
