Heavy duty CNC lathe has high torque
A heavy duty, 26kW, CNC two-axis lathe offers high torque through ZF two-speed gearbox, and can be maximised at just 250 rev/min.
Larger and more demanding workpieces can be accommodated on the latest Dugard Eagle 400 heavy duty CNC two-axis lathe that has a swing over bed of 770mm and maximum turning diameter of 570mm The 45 deg slant bed lathe weighs some 9.5 tonnes and is constructed on a single cast iron base with heavy duty hardened and ground slideways

Travelling column VMC has dual-pallet indexing
Vertical machining centre with a travelling column design and integrated rotary dual-pallet indexing system provides higher levels of productivity and output and efficient workpiece loading/unloading.
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.
This construction enables the benefits of the high torque, created through a 26kW drive and ZF two-speed gearbox, to be maximised at just 250 rev/min.
Maximum spindle speed is 2,500 rev/min for the 91mm bar capacity and 12in through-bore hydraulic chuck, which is supported with a programmable 110mm diameter hydraulic tailstock with an MT5 quill.
Typical of the C Dugard of Hove, UK specification, for its wide range of machine tools, is the heavy-duty hydraulic turret that will accept 32mm square shank tooling and boring bars up to 50mm shank diameter.
There is also an option of 10 or 12 station turret versions with 0.45s indexing.
The Z-axis travel is 820mm and X-axis 320mm with rapid traverse rates of 18m/min in each axis.
Important for such a large capacity machine is the slide aside guarding that provides a wide entry with plenty of overhead clearance for loading awkwardly shaped and large components.
The 120mm quill travel of the powered tailstock with automatic positioning and ergonomic placement of the Fanuc Oi control with LCD screen display simplifies the operation of on-machine programming and setting.
Included in the specification is a large capacity coolant system and a range of boring bar bushes.
Wide ranging options include a barfeed system, a 450mm through-bore hydraulic power chuck, high pressure coolant pump, manual and automatic tool setting probes, a range of chip conveyors, hydraulic steady rest and automatic door operation. Request a free brochure from C Dugard ...
