Double walled and ribbed monocast bed construction ensures heavy-duty and high precision turning for a long life. Low-speed with high torque turning can be performed with the heavy-duty headstock featuring 2-step gear change. Hand controls are conveniently located in the same position as in conventional lathes, so operators can use handles overlooking the tool nose. Tailstock body features a 1500 kgs load capacity with an MT No. 5 center. Easy operation using a variety of menus. Bed: Special care has been given to create a completely symmetrical shape in both the horizontal and vertical directions to reduce distortion and deformation. Effective rib contours and positioning has been added in the direction of torsion, inhibiting vibration when cutting. This model features a wide bed width at 1,010 mm and a deep sliding surface across its entire length with a level degree of hardening. Headstock: This unique structure design is capable of withstanding heavy cutting. Advanced mechanical engineering has gone into the development of the outer frame, internal partition and rib placement, in addition to other areas. The main shaft bearing is supported at two points, allowing for a high degree of precision to be achieved with the double row cylindrical roller bearing and the high-speed angular ball bearing set to the front bearing, and the double row cylindrical roller bearing set to the rear bearing. Spindle speed conversion is handled by an AC (inverter control) motor. A gear system is used to change the range in two stages in order to obtain a sufficient degree of torque at low speeds. Constant surface speed control is a standard feature. Carriage: The saddle has a broad sliding surface in relation to the bed, and the cross slide and cutter holder have been robustly designed to allow for heavy cutting and maintain a stable level of precision. Ball screws are used for the X axis, with a precision rack and pinion for between center distances of 7m or greater. A servo motor supplies the driving force. Tailstock: The tailstock and the tailstock spindle provide a sufficient degree of rigidity and are constructed with the main body secured to the base to allow for cross direction slide adjustments. A thrust meter comes as standard. The base is a rigid structure that is fixed to the bed with clamp plates. Furthermore, a locking device is used to prevent retreating from tailstock thrust.
