Z-MAT FLASH FL 300 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact CNC turning machine equipped with a Siemens SINUMERIK 808D control system, designed for entry-level milling and turning applications in small to medium-sized workshops. The machine features a 6-inch chuck with a maximum bar capacity of 1.57 inches, accommodating workpieces up to 11.8 inches in swing and machining length. With a 2-axis configuration, the system delivers efficient precision machining suitable for basic turning operations. The 3 kW power rating enables consistent performance, while the maximum spindle speed of 4,500 RPM supports a range of material finishing operations. The SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED control offers exceptional accuracy through 80-bit NANOFP calculation precision at the nanometer range, far exceeding typical machine tool capabilities. The system incorporates intelligent jerk limitation with bellprofile acceleration characteristics, ensuring smooth path behavior and reduced mechanical stress for maximum workpiece precision. The integrated SIMOTICS servo motor and SINAMICS drive provide up to 300% overload capability, enabling faster acceleration and deceleration cycles that reduce non-cutting operating times and increase overall productivity. The control panel features an intuitive 8.4-inch display with an integrated PLC based on SIMATIC S7-200, making programming straightforward through ShopTurn software. File transfer capabilities via USB or RS232 provide flexible program management, while the minimum block cycle time of approximately 4 milliseconds with 50-block look-ahead ensures responsive machine operation. This configuration represents an ideal solution for shops requiring reliable, precision turning capabilities with user-friendly CNC control.
