FL300 GANG TOOL LATHE FEATURE

 

Lathe Machine
Extra Large Table and Long X Axis	Large work table and a long X axis stroke allows for a large number of gang tool blocks, plus live tooling.  Offers more flexibility and variation in tooling and turning set-ups.  Many live tooling options available.
Heavy Castings with Cast Base	Compact, rigid machine design  - weighing over 2600 lbs. High weight-to-work cube ratio assures high rigidity, even when taking heavy cuts.
Full Enclosure	Machine is completely enclosed with a sliding front access door and easy access panels on the tailstock end and machine back side. Coolant and chips are enclosed and properly recycled. Electromagnetic lock keeps operator safe.
1.46” Spindle Bore	Easy access for standard pneumatic collet system. Optional hydrualic system, and collet system available. Adaptable for automatic bar feeder, and live tooling.
Gang Tool Plate	A nice set of tool holders is included with this lathe tool pack. Gang tool turning is the fastest, simplest, and most economical of turning methods. Generally limited to smaller diameter part material - less than 2”.
Pneumatic Collet Closer with Auxiliary Start Button, Foot Actuator or at the Control	Collet system is air actuated with auxiliary start button - within easy reach of operator. Improves efficiency and safety for the operator.
Tool Box and Tools	A set of the basic tools required for maintenance are included with this late. Gives you what you need to get up and running and for routine maintenance.
Foundation Pads	Heavy machined leveling pads that adjust the height to keep your machine aligned and balanced. Solid multi-point contact with shop floor reduces vibrations and increases accuracy.
Drive System
4 HP Spindle Drive	Plenty of power to match the machine’s capacity. Capable of rigid tapping and spindle positioning.
50-3000 Spindle Speed Range	Infinitely variable speed ranges, from 50 to 3000 RPMs. No need for changing gears or belts.
Schneider Electrical Components	One reason we can offer an 18 month machine warranty is because of the recognized quality, and reliabilty of Schneider Electrical components. Highest reliability rating - highy efficient design reduces power usage.
High Quality Hiwin Linear Guideways w/Telescoping Covers	World-class standard linear motion guideways come standard on the FL300. Stainless steel telescoping guards provide maximum protection of guideways from chips and coolant.
PMI Ball Screws	PMI ball screws efficiently transmit rotary motion to linear motion - allowing for high speed, and highly accurate axis movements. Accurate ball circle diameters throughout the length of ball screw assures consistent drag torque and low noise.
Feed Rates of 600 on X and Y Axes	Faster speeds equals higher production rates. The combination of Siemens industrial control, servo driven system and linear guideways provides power and control that allows for higher speeds on this machine - many times faster then competitive CNC Lathe systems.
Safety/Operation
Ergonomic Control Panel and Operator Interface	Machine control panel adjusts and rotates up to 90 degrees. High tactile buttons, manual pulse generator, and convenient cycle start buttons improve operator convenience, efficiency, and safety.
Auxiliary Cycle Start	Easy access buttons allow operator to operate pneumatic or hydraulic chuck with the push of a button. Having a second E-Stop within easy reach also adds to the safety features of this lathe.
Manual Pulse Generator	Handheld pendant that allows operator to be independent from the main control panel. The rotating knob generates pulses that are sent to the machine control, allowing the operator to move the lathe a predetermined distance with each click of the knob detent.
Automatic Lubrication System	Lubricates all wear points during machine operation at continuous time intervals. Benefits include reduced labor and material costs, and significant extension of bearing life.
Programmable Coolant System	Control coolant flow at the control panel using standard M-Codes. Cycle times can be significantly reduced, while feed and cutting speeds can be significantly increased. Proper cooling extends life of cutting tools.
Work Light	Focused lighting elements increase operator efficiency and reduce fatigue. This light is flicker resistant - also waterproof, resistant to cooling and lubricants. Impact and vibration resistant.
Tri-Color Alarm Light	Green light turns red when control alarm recognizes a machining error, or machine malfunction. An operator standing away from the machine is visually alerted by the activated alarm light when machining cycle is finished or machine errors out.
Siemens 808D CNC Control
Closed Loop System	System directly monitors motor position and velocity in real time. The system then automatically makes corrections to assure correct tool positioning. High accuracy and maximum parts quality ensures a minimal rejection rate. Also assures smoother surface finishes.
Siemens Servos and Drives	Achieves rapid acceleration and higher speeds - maintains high torque throughout speed range. Motor is highly efficient - and it stays cool. Quiet at high speeds, with vibration free operation.
Ideal for CNC Beginners	Ideal for entry level CNC users, the innovative, integrative start-GUIDE from Siemens provides an on-line digital help function on every screen. Helpful instructions are available anytime - at a push of a button.
Simple & Intuitive Interface	Well designed conversational programming functions and Wizards from Siemens help streamline programming at the control panel. All Siemens 808D controls come standard with this SINUMERIK Operate BASIC functionality.
Compact and Robust	Industrial panel design with hardened features is ideal for harsh environments. Small compact design matches smaller machines tools like the AutoMate CNC line.
USB Connector - Easily Handles Large Files	This unique Siemens function allows for the streaming of large program files direct from a USB. Large files are no longer a concern - other CNC systems lack this robust level of functionality.
Built-In Helps	Several Siemens provided “assists” help streamline programming functions. One example would be Hot Keys. With the Hot Key function, machine operators can easily access commonly used screens using operator defined hot keys.
