CNC Lathes & Turning Centers

Investing in CNC Swiss technology allows a shop to perform threading operations. Every Swiss machinist should be aware of the latest advancements in this field.nn

This new 8L Lathe is a small machine with big capabilities, and has the ability to fill turning needs in a variety of spaces. Rigid enough to cut anything, whether it's plastic, stainless steel even titanium, this machine can handle it, and at an approachable price point.

On the new TURNPWR, a 12.1" high-resolution display boasts a screen layout that is clearly arranged and user friendly. Preview graphics in the editor illustrate the individual machining steps for programming the contour as well as corresponding tool path generated using only dimensions pulled from a production drawing. It also accepts DXF files.

To find the ideal ball screw for their application, users start by conducting their search through an intuitive, visual-based menu. They enter their application requirements and can narrow down their options to an optimal choice in just a few clicks. Further enhancements include real-time adjustments with defined filter parameters, and up-front pricing and delivery lead times. Another unique feature are product recommendations from Thomson engineers.n

he Gang Type Tooling System aids with high-speed cutting and holds high accuracy during turning of any part. These CNC Lathes are equipped with linear guides for the X and Y axes to provide stable and accurate cutting. As a standard feature, these machines are equipped with a High Precision C-Axis Indexing function.

The small footprint make the compact vertical machine centers an economical option for small shops that require a second machine or an additional spindle. Each machining center is manufactured and tested to assure it meets the highest quality and accuracy standards. In addition, it is recognized for improved accuracy and repeating due to the solid rigid construction.

The capability to keep eighty tools resident with high horsepower motors means heavy metal removal and flexibility. B-axis surfacing with up to 135 travel handles up to ½" diameter tooling. Software technologies increase effectiveness including Star CNC's HFT (High Frequency Turning) software handle chip control in tough materials, Star CNC Motion Control System optimizes your program to reduce cycle time, and the Star Monitoring and Operator Support System (SMOOSS-i) allows remote monitoring with real-time efficiency reporting and operator intervention predictability.

The lathe's small size and footprint make it an excellent option for machine shops needing a second-op machine or additional chuck. Every bed lathe is manufactured and tested to ensure it meets the highest quality and accuracy standards.

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.

Eurotech is offering the Eurotech Universal Series — 100% manufactured with Europe's best craftsmanship, fourth-generation technology and unbeatable accuracy. In this series of universal chucking machines there are three products: Forza, Alta and Toro.

INDEX has announced the launch of its next generation MS32-6 multiple-spindle automatic lathe. This newest version of the six-spindle machine brings the benefits of multispindle technology to a broader range of applications thanks to a flexible tool slide platform that greatly reduces changeover times.

Romi C series heavy-duty flatbed CNC lathes are built with Romi made monoblock cast iron beds for optimal rigidity, accuracy and performance. The heavy-duty C Series includes nine models ranging from the C 1100H with a 28" (720 mm) swing over cross slide and 72-hp main motor, to the massive C 2600H with an 80" (2,030 mm) swing over cross slide, and a 155-hp main motor. All key components of Romi machine tools are designed and built in-house for complete control and assurance of manufacturing quality.
