Description
The machines of the Turnado PRO series are the modern version of the classic lathe. The PRO models are the latest generation of Knuth’s universal lathes, which have been tried and tested for 20 years. With constant cutting speed, rapid traverses and an extended speed range that can be controlled by an inverter, these models are characterized by high-performance machining, excellent surface quality and time efficiency. They are easy to recognize by the new ergonomic cladding design, which integrates all functions into an overall concept.
Features
- With a new support, rapid feed, and a modern ergonomic machine frame, the Turnado Lathe PRO series continues its success story
- A heavily ribbed machine bed, rigid headstock and a massive one-piece cast-iron stand form a solid machine base
- Removable bridge allows machining of short workpieces with large diameters
- Back-gearing and an advanced electronic control technology of the powerful main spindle drive ensure high torque and a wide range of speeds
- High-precision pre-loaded spindle bearings ensure superior concentricity and load capacity
- All guides are adjustable
- Gears, transmission shafts, and guideways are hardened and ground to guarantee quiet operation and long tool life
- The apron runs in an oil bath for low maintenance and high reliability
- A central lubrication system inside the support supplies all guideways with lubrication and simplifies maintenance
- Micrometer bed stop ensures high repeatability on the Z-axis
- The tailstock can be adjusted sideways for taper turning
- The extensive features of the X.Pos Position Indicator are complemented here with a digital speed indicator and an easy to program auxiliary function
- Constant cutting speed: during face turning, the spindle speed automatically adapts to the changing workpiece diameter – the constant cutting speed at the cutting edge of the turning tool ensures superior turning results with quality comparable to CNC lathes
