The CNC lathe for metal turning is configured at quotation — controller, bed length, chuck type and turret options are selected according to the range of parts produced. Free technical consultancy available. Advantages of the CNC lathe for metal turning
• ±0.015mm accuracy and ±0.006mm repeatability — consistent quality in series production — the CNC lathe for metal turning achieves a positioning accuracy of ±0.015mm and a repeatability of ±0.006mm, parameters that place it in the medium-to-high precision CNC lathe category. This repeatability guarantees that the CNC lathe for metal turning produces identical parts in series — a critical condition for gear components, shafts and precision bushings where tight tolerances are imposed by assembly standards.
• Selectable controller — GSK, FANUC, Siemens or KND — the CNC lathe for metal turning is available with four control systems: GSK (a high-performance controller with optional Romanian-language interface), FANUC (the industry standard for series production), Siemens (preferred in complex integrations and automated production lines) and KND (an economical option for workshops with standard G-code programming). The ability to choose the controller makes the CNC lathe for metal turning a solution compatible with the existing CNC infrastructure in the workshop, with no need to fully retrain operators.
• Z axis with direct connection — elimination of transmission backlash — the Z axis of the CNC lathe for metal turning is connected directly to the servo motor, with no intermediate belt or gears. This construction eliminates the transmission backlash accumulated in indirect-drive systems and ensures superior accuracy and repeatability along the longitudinal direction, critical for thread-cutting, taper and profile turning operations where the cumulative error along the Z axis determines the final quality of the part.
• Turning diameter 800mm over the bed / 540mm over the slide — wide dimensional coverage — the CNC lathe for metal turning machines parts up to 800mm in diameter over the bed and 540mm over the slide, covering the range from small precision parts to medium-sized discs, flanges and rotors. The three bore configurations (φ52 / φ80 / φ105mm) of the CNC lathe for metal turning allow large-diameter bars to pass through axially without the limitations of a standard-spindle lathe.
• Five length variants — 750 to 3000mm — the CNC lathe for metal turning is available with the bed in five working lengths: 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000mm. This range covers everything from turning short high-precision parts (shafts, bushings, pistons) to machining long shafts for the power, marine and heavy machinery industries. The bed length of the CNC lathe for metal turning is selected at quotation according to the maximum range of parts machined.
• Main spindle speed 21–1600rpm with 3 mechanical steps — adaptable to diverse materials and operations — the CNC lathe for metal turning combines continuous speed variation with a 3-step mechanical gearbox (I: 162–1600 rpm / II: 66–500 rpm / III: 21–150 rpm), covering the entire range of operations — from high-speed finishing on aluminium and non-ferrous alloys to low-speed roughing on alloy steels and cast iron with high torque. The high torque of the main spindle at low speeds allows the CNC lathe for metal turning to perform aggressive roughing without loss of stability or vibration.
• 4-position vertical electric turret + optional 6 positions — increased productivity through fewer tool changes — the 4-position vertical electric turret of the CNC lathe for metal turning allows rapid automatic indexing of the next tool in the program, eliminating manual tool-change time. The optional 6-position turret available for the CNC lathe for metal turning is recommended for complex-profile parts that require several finishing, chamfering and truing tools in the same cycle.
• Optional hydraulic chucks — maximum productivity in series — the CNC lathe for metal turning is available with a solid or tubular hydraulic chuck in place of the standard manual chuck. The hydraulic chuck reduces clamping/unclamping time per part from 15–30 seconds to under 3 seconds, with a uniform, repeatable clamping force that eliminates manual clamping errors. In series production with the CNC lathe for metal turning, the hydraulic chuck significantly reduces the total cycle time per part.
