The Fagor8055i/A TC Control Panel provides a conversational graphical interface that does not require the user to have a prior CNC programming or G-Code background. However, for those who wish, PLC and ISO (G-Code) are fully integrated. These lathes also offer electronic hand-wheels for manual operation with simple and easy DRO mode. The headstock of this CNC Toolroom Lathe is manufactured from thick-walled heavily-ribbed casting to provide a smooth and quiet turning machine. All gears and shafts are precisely hardened and ground for their best performance. High tensile Meehanite iron is used for all castings for maximum vibration dampening.
All slideways and drive elements of this CNC Toolroom Lathe is 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 of this shop must-have. The forced lubrication and oil bath are combined in the headstock, prolonging machine life and avoiding service calls.
The main spindle bores on these CNC Toolroom Lathes range from 3”- 14” and are precision machined and ground from a large one-piece forging. Double chuck systems are also available. The spindle and gears are made of carburized and ground CR-MO alloy steel. The three-point support on the spindle with two taper-roller bearing and one roller bearing assures accuracy and rigidity. The optional automatic tool changing systems (H4, V8, or V12) provide high performance and high production with flexible and accurate tooling which is optimized to meet the most demanding job schedule. The lathe series also includes a built-in tool library for easing management of tools.
