Whether handling bar stock up to ø 46mm or larger workpieces via its 6″ Hollow Chuck/Collet, the lathe ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of modern machining operations.

Product Specifications

Machining Capacity

At the core of its performance lies robust machining capabilities. The lathe features a spindle bore diameter of ø 56mm, accommodating a wide range of raw materials. Its maximum bar machining diameter of ø 46mm supports continuous production with automatic feeding systems, while the ø 500mm maximum swing diameter allows for larger, more complex workpieces. For extended part lengths, the machine handles up to ø 380×300mm, ensuring flexibility across various production needs.

Spindle Performance

The spindle is a highlight of efficiency, boasting a maximum speed of 4500 RPM to enable rapid material removal without compromising precision. Its A2-5 spindle nose type ensures secure workpiece clamping, paired with a 6″ Hollow Chuck/Collet for stable gripping during high-speed operations. Powered by a 7.5KW spindle motor, the spindle delivers consistent torque, making it suitable for machining metals like steel, aluminum, and brass.

Feed Axes

Precision in movement is guaranteed by the X and Z axes. The X-axis offers a maximum travel of 710mm with a rapid traverse speed of 25m/min, while the Z-axis provides 350mm of travel at the same rapid traverse rate. These axes work in tandem to reduce non-cutting time, enhancing overall productivity and ensuring smooth, accurate positioning for intricate cuts.

Turret & Tooling

The turret system features 5 tool positions, designed to minimize setup time and maximize workflow efficiency. It accommodates external tool holders of 20×20mm and internal tool holders with a maximum diameter of 25mm, supporting a variety of cutting tools for turning, facing, and threading operations. This flexibility allows operators to handle diverse part geometries without frequent tool changes.

Motor & Power

The lathe’s total machine power is 15KW, with the spindle motor contributing 7.5KW—a balance that ensures powerful performance while maintaining energy efficiency. This setup supports continuous operation, even under heavy loads, making it suitable for long production runs.

Additional Features

Practical design elements enhance usability, including a 140L coolant tank to keep tools and workpieces cool during machining. The machine itself has a height of 1700mm and occupies a floor space of 2050×1650mm, with a total weight of 2300KG—a sturdy build that minimizes vibration and ensures stability.

Optional Configurations

To adapt to specific production needs, optional upgrades are available, such as alternative CNC systems (GSK/SYNTEC), gantry robots for automated loading/unloading, and milling power heads for multi-tasking. Other options include a high-pressure water output (30Bar), bar feeders, part catchers, an 8-inch hollow chuck, a 63-tool turret, and a chip conveyor—all designed to enhance automation and versatility.

Design

The CNC Gang Tool Lathe is built with durability and precision in mind, featuring a robust frame constructed to withstand the rigors of high-volume manufacturing. Its design prioritizes stability, with a heavyweight structure (2300KG) that reduces vibration during high-speed spindle operation (4500 RPM), ensuring consistent accuracy.

The integration of the FANUC Oi-TF control system streamlines operation, with intuitive programming that reduces setup time and minimizes errors. The layout of the X and Z axes—with generous travel distances (710mm and 350mm) and rapid traverse speeds (25m/min)—is optimized for efficient movement, while the turret’s 5 tool positions are strategically arranged for quick access, further boosting productivity.

1. Manufacturing of high-precision medical devices

CNC machine tools can achieve micron-level or even sub-micron-level processing accuracy, meeting the stringent requirements of medical equipment for dimensions and surface quality. For example:

Orthopaedic implants: such as artificial joints, bone screws and spinal fixation devices, which need to perfectly match the human skeleton. CNC machine tools use five-axis interpolation technology to process complex curved surfaces, ensuring surface roughness as low as Ra0.4μm while reducing vibration interference and enhancing product stability.

Dental instruments: Customised production of dental crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances relies on CNC technology, enabling personalised manufacturing through 3D scanning and CAD models to improve patient comfort.

Pacemaker components: Precision machining of micro-parts requires strict tolerance control to ensure the reliability of electronic components.

2. Machining of complex-shaped parts

Bone files and knee joint bone pads;

Surgical robot components: The complex geometric structures of robot-assisted surgical instruments require CNC machine tools combined with multi-axis linkage and intelligent programming technology to ensure high-precision motion control.

3. Processing of biocompatible materials

Medical implants often use difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys and PEEK; CNC machine tools employ special processes to address this;

Titanium alloy implants: high-speed milling and cooling optimisation are used to prevent material performance changes caused by high temperatures.

High-density polyethylene: knee joint cartilage pads are processed using high-speed spindles to achieve high surface finish while reducing processing time.

4. Customisation and rapid prototyping

Personalised prosthetics and implants: CNC machine tools can rapidly produce customised prosthetics or implants, such as reverse-engineered hip replacements, using patient data generated from 3D scanning.

Medical device prototypes: CNC machining supports small-batch trial production, accelerating product iteration, such as rapid prototyping and testing of electronic medical device housings.
