Newly designed, the FBL-360B MC from Chevalier boasts a 45-degree slant bed, rigid box ways structure and programmable tailstock. It's the best machine in the market for mixed volume, short-run or dedicated high-volume applications. The machine is engineered with ease of access and trouble-free maintenance in mind.

Here are vital specs about the FBL-360B MC:

CAPACITY: The FBL-360B MC slant bed lathe features a 15" chuck, maximum swing and maximum turning diameter of 22.4" and a maximum turning length up to 80".

STRUCTURE: The FBL-360B MC offers a flexible, accurate and efficient solution for mixed volume, short-run or dedicated high-volume applications. The ribbed Meehanite cast iron mono-block casting with high rigidity box way helps resist deflection and vibration during heavy machining. The FBL-360B MC offers a flexible, accurate and efficient solution for mixed-volume, short-run or dedicated high-volume applications, delivering fast parts machining of bars up to 4.5" in diameter at speeds up to 2,500rpm, X and Z travels of 12.6" and up to 32.2" and 708 ipm rapid traverse. The X- and Z-axes positioning accuracy is ±0.0002" while repeatability is ±0.0001".

SPINDLE: The lathe features up to 35HP (50HP optional) AC digital spindle motor with 2-speed gear box, spindle bar is 4.5" in diameter and speed up to 2,500rpm. It produces up to 1,901 ft.-lbs. torque at lower rpm and has a 5.3 spindle bore.

TURRET: The German made Sauter 12-station BMT 65 live turret offers smooth and fast indexing time, while the 15HP live motor provides large torque to satisfy most milling work.

CONTROL: FANUC 0i-TD control with 10.4" LCD color screen and conversational Manual Guide i.

ACCESSORIES: Auto tool setter system helps to reduce set-up times and keep non-machining times to a minimum. Programmable tailstock comes with automatic positioning capability, along with programmable quill that runs IN/OUT sequence.
