Teach-style lathes repeat long strings of directions for multiple reproductions

KAAST Machine Tools will highlight the C-Turn CNC series of teach-style lathes, which have the ability to repeat long strings of directions for multiple reproductions.

The Fagor8055i/A TC panel provides a conversational graphical interface that does not require the user to have a prior CNC programming or G-code background, the company states. However, for those who wish, PLC and ISO (G-code) are fully integrated.

All slideways and drive elements are automatically lubricated, and the undersides of the saddle as well as the cross slide are coated with Turcite-B to ensure accuracy and long life. The forced lubrication and oil bath is combined in the headstock.

The main spindle bores range from 3 to 14 in. and are machined and ground from large one-piece forgings. The spindle and gears are made of carburized and ground CrMo alloy steel. The three-point support on the spindle with two taper-roller bearing and one roller bearing helps ensure accuracy and rigidity, the company states.

The machine also offers electronic hand-wheels for manual operation with a DRO.
