Also coming soon will be the Eagle 100 and the Eagle 200MC.
At MACH 2002 (last April) Dugard launched the "basic format" Eagle 200 - the first in this series of new Eagle lathes.
The basic Eagle 200 offers and 8-inch chuck and prices start at GBP 31,500.
Dugard are now just about to launch the Eagle 200MC (the more highly specified version of the Eagle 200 which offers driven tooling) as well as the Eagle 100 (with a 6-inch chuck and prices starting at GBP 25,000).
Prices will vary according to the specifications/options required.
All the Eagle lathes in this range are of slant bed configuration with mill/drill facilities available as an option.
There are two versions of each machine to choose from: either a direct drive spindle for general applications or a high-torque, two-speed gearbox for the most demanding applications.
All the Eagle CNC Lathes are available with Fanuc or Siemens control systems, together with parts catchers, bar feeds and tool setting probes.
C Dugard Machine Tools market, distribute, install and support their own range of CNC lathes and vertical machining centres throughout the UK and Europe under the name "Eagle".
The Eagle brand has achieved wide recognition for quality, reliability and speed of operation at remarkably cost-effective prices.
Indeed, the Eagle vertical machining centres have become one of Europe's fastest selling range.
