Performance & Engineering Controls
- ACU-RITE 203 DRO Integration allows for instantaneous, high-precision digital positioning, effectively eliminating manual backlash calculations and increasing multi-axis accuracy.
- Industrial Taper Attachment enables the production of consistent, high-fidelity tapers without the repetitive, time-consuming manual offset adjustments required by standard lathes.
- Heavy-Duty Geared Headstock ensures positive, slip-free power transmission, allowing the machine to maintain constant RPM under heavy, low-speed roughing cuts.
- Massive 3-1/8" Spindle Bore maximizes the versatility of the machine, permitting oversized bar stock and thick shafts to pass safely through the headstock.
- 13-3/8" Wide Induction-Hardened Bed provides the necessary structural mass to dampen harmonic vibrations, ensuring flawless surface finishes even under aggressive load.
- Comprehensive Threading & Feed Gearbox is factory-configured to provide a vast selection of 61 Inch and 24 Metric threads for global compatibility.
