CNC Lathe 1200 – Advanced technology for industry

CNC Lathe 1200 is a professional numerical machine tool designed for precise metal machining in demanding industrial applications. Owing to its robust construction and advanced control systems, it ensures reliability and high efficiency in both series and unit production.

Main advantages of the CNC Lathe 1200

Numerical lathe 1200 combines advanced technology with functionality, offering users key benefits that enhance production efficiency. Below are the machine’s main advantages:

• High machining accuracy: Maximum turning diameter over the bed of 1200 mm and over the carriage of 850 mm allow precise processing of large components.
• Versatility: Available between-centres distances (1500 mm, optional 2000/3000 mm) enable machining of workpieces of various lengths.
• Production efficiency: Spindle speed ranges of 14–60, 60–210, 210–750 rpm and rapid feed in X/Z axes (6/4 m/min) reduce machining cycle times.
• Durability and reliability: The automatic lubrication system for gears and guides minimises wear and operating costs.
• Advanced automation: The 6-position turret head (optional 8) increases efficiency during multi-stage machining.
• Intuitive operation: Siemens Sinumerik 808D control system, with optional Sinumerik 828D or Fanuc Oi-TF, ensures simple programming and easy handling.
• Safety and ergonomics: 24V halogen lighting and a cooling system provide operator comfort and protection.

Construction and technology

1200 CNC metal lathe has been designed for durability and accuracy under demanding industrial conditions. The key construction elements include:

• Robust machine bed: Width of 550 mm ensures stability during machining of large components.
• Large-bore spindle: Spindle through-hole of 105 mm allows the machining of long and heavy parts.
• Powerful spindle drive: 11 kW main motor guarantees high performance when machining various materials.
• Automatic lubrication system: Reduces maintenance needs and extends the life of gears and guides.
• Turret head: Standard 6-position (optional 8) provides rapid tool change, enhancing automation.
• Cooling system: Ensures optimal tool and workpiece conditions, improving machining quality.
• Manual 3-jaw chuck: Secures firm clamping of workpieces of different shapes.

Precision and work efficiency

Industrial lathe 1200 delivers exceptional precision thanks to advanced Siemens Sinumerik and Fanuc Oi-TF control systems. They enable easy programming of complex cycles such as threading, grooving and drilling. The rapid feed rate in the X axis (6 m/min) and Z axis (4 m/min) together with Siemens servo drives guarantee high machining accuracy and repeatability. The dynamic spindle drive optimises production time, which is crucial for serial manufacturing processes.

Applications

CNC metal lathe 1200 is an ideal solution for a wide range of industrial applications, including:

• Automotive industry: Production of large components such as shafts, bushings, and gears.
• Machinery industry: Machining of large-sized machine parts requiring high accuracy.
• Serial and unit production: Flexibility to handle both large batches and individual parts.
• Energy and aerospace industries: Turning of components with high technical requirements, such as turbine parts or axles.
• Shipbuilding industry: Machining of large metal components up to 3000 mm in length.

The machine is an excellent choice for production facilities seeking a reliable and versatile solution.
