Wide range of CNC machines will suit all tastes
High speed lathes, as well as vertical and horizontal machining centres, to suit all tastes, will be exhibited at Mach 2002 by C Dugard.
The new 45 slant bed Dugard Eagle 100 lathe can be specified with a 10 tool turret or six tool platen arrangement.
Both configurations are set on the same heavy base casting and feature a massive ribbed headstock and precision linear ways providing a swing of 470 mm diameter and a 290 mm cutting length with 6 inch chuck and a 52 mm bar capacity.
The Eagle 100P with its six tool, quick-set platen has a maximum turning diameter of 280 mm with travels in X and Z of 320 mm.
Tool shank size is 20 mm square and boring bars up to 32 mm diameter can be held.
A range of toolholders include double and single facing tool types, a single and double boring bar holder and a U-drill holder for tools having up to 32 mm diameter shank size.
The 10 station hydraulic turret Eagle 100 carries the same tool size as the platen machine with a 260 mm maximum turning diameter with travel of 150 mm and 320 mm in Z.
Included in the machine specification is a 70 mm quill diameter tailstock with hydraulic activation under program or manual control with an auto-sensing device to control pressure.
On both machine types, spindle speed is 6,000 revs/min and rapid traverse is 30 m/min on linear guideways.
In typical C Dugard fashion giving a wide range of options to the machine specification, the user has a choice of control systems from Fanuc, Siemens or a Syntec PC-based unit.
There is also a choice of bar feed, manual and automatic tool setting probes and the positioning of the chip conveyor to the rear or side of the machine. Request a free brochure from C Dugard ...
