A heavy duty CNC lathe is a precision machine tool used for shaping and machining metal or other materials through a rotating workpiece. It operates using computer numerical control (CNC) technology, allowing for high accuracy and repeatability in the manufacturing process. Typically constructed from robust materials such as cast iron or steel, these lathes are designed to handle large and heavy workpieces, making them ideal for industrial applications.
| Max swing over bed | Up to 20 inches |
| Max turning length | Up to 80 inches |
| Spindle speed | Variable, typically 100 to 3000 RPM |
| Control type | CNC with G-code programming |
| Power rating | 10 to 30 HP |
| Weight capacity | Up to 2000 lbs |
When selecting a heavy duty CNC lathe, consider the maximum swing and turning length required for your workpieces. It's important to specify the spindle speed range and power rating to ensure it meets your machining needs. Additionally, inquire about the control system compatibility and any required software. Certifications such as ISO may also be relevant depending on your industry standards. Always request quotes based on your anticipated quantities to ensure accurate pricing.
