WOHLENBERG PT1-1700 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a **63-inch swing over bed**, providing the capacity to machine large diameter workpieces efficiently. It incorporates a **CNC control system**, such as the Fagor 8055 or similar, allowing versatile operation modes including full CNC automation and manual hand wheel control for precise manual machining. The machine supports a substantial spindle bore (up to 21 inches), accommodating big bore workpieces with high weight capacities suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. Its robust construction includes a heavily ribbed cast bed and base with hardened and precision ground bed ways and precision-ground ball screws to ensure high rigidity, accuracy, and repeatability. The spindle drive typically features an infinitely variable speed range, often powered by a high-horsepower motor (e.g., 50 HP), which enables machining at a wide range of speeds from slow turning to high RPM. Additional features often include coolant systems, steady rests, sliding enclosure doors, and a comprehensive feed rate control for both X and Z axes (up to 200 IPM). The machine is designed to accommodate one-off, prototype, or medium batch production through semi-automatic or fully automatic CNC operation, making it adaptable to various machining applications in heavy industries. Its combination of CNC precision and manual override hand wheels maximizes operator control and convenience for intricate or complex parts machining. This lathe is ideal for environments transitioning from manual to CNC manufacturing or those requiring flexibility in production methods.
