Main Advantages of the CNC Lathe 660x2000

The CNC metal lathe 660x2000 is a professional industrial solution that combines advanced technology with robust construction, dedicated to plants requiring the highest cutting quality. As an industrial lathe, it enables the execution of complex operations such as external, internal and spherical turning, threading, drilling, grooving and contouring, ensuring excellent surface finish and precision. Its key benefits include:

• Exceptional machining precision: Maximum turning diameter over bed 660 mm and over carriage 450 mm, with a maximum workpiece length of 2000 mm, guaranteeing superb finish quality.
• Versatile spindle: Speed range of 15–1000 rpm, spindle bore of 86 mm and spindle nose type A2-11 allow machining a wide variety of materials, from steel to light alloys.
• Intuitive control: The Siemens Sinumerik 808D system in English with Siemens servo drives provides a dedicated mode for operators of conventional machines, reducing the learning curve for CNC operation.
• Rigid construction: A net weight of 5200 kg and dimensions of 4600x1800x1900 mm ensure excellent stability during heavy-duty cutting.
• Tooling efficiency: A 4-position turret with coolant and up to 8 tool positions speeds up tool change and shortens production cycles.
• Fast setup: Convenient tool alignment, zero-point definition and correction without program entry make it ideal for single-part production.
• Enhanced safety: Controlled movements and speed limitation enable precise and safe operation, minimising the risk of errors.
• Durable components: Automatic lubrication of gears and guideways reduces wear and extends the lifetime of the machine.
• Optimised cooling: The spindle head cooling system ensures thermal stability, protecting tools and workpieces during intensive cutting.
• Wide application range: Designed for precision turning in mechanical, automotive and toolmaking industries, suitable for both batch and small-series production.
• Operational economy: A 12kW main motor with an inverter offers high efficiency and low energy consumption.
• Integration with machining cycles: Cooperation with turning, tapering, threading or drilling cycles requires only the input of basic parameters, without G-code knowledge.
• Advanced automation: Options such as hydraulic chuck, hydraulic tailstock, bar feeder and chip conveyor enhance production efficiency.
• Customisation options: A wide selection of upgrades, including Fanuc Oi-TF, Sinumerik 828D control, tool probe or CAD/CAM software, allows the machine to be tailored to specific needs.
• European safety standards: CE certification confirms compliance with rigorous safety regulations.

Design and Technology of the CNC Lathe 660x2000
