Chucks & Jaws

To optimize part transfer, independent right spindle guideways on lower turrets minimize the distance between the spindles at 11.8" (300 mm). For highest processing flexibility, a single or twin lower turret design is offered with overlapping travels and Y-Axis box guideways are standard.

For exceptionally quick and accurate turning of a variety of parts, turret index times are as low as .19 seconds, robot cycle times 17.9 seconds and loading times 4.8 seconds. An optimized bed design, with a grooving width of 14mm, renders this lathe exceptionally rigid.
