Orion 6T / 6TL / 6TLM / 8T / 8TL / 8TLM / 10TL / 10TLM
- A modern CNC Lathe must be productive, reliable, and cost-effective. The Orion T series combines all of these characteristics in every model
- The servo turret provides precision and efficiency at the workpiece, complemented by advanced drive technology with rapid feeds up to 36 m/min
- Fast: Linear guides for reliable precision
- Productive: powerful drive and dynamic feed and rapid feed
- Reliable: Fanuc control technology
- Expandable: many options available
Machine bed:
- The heavily ribbed 45° inclined bed frame features premium linear guides for superior thermal and structural stability
- This design is very spacious, featuring a large work space for tools and improved chip removal
- The preloaded ball screws connect to powerful drives via a zero-loss transmission clutch, and extensive bilateral bearings ensure high axial and radial rigidity
Main spindle and headstock:
- Excellent rigidity and minimum influence of fluctuating operating temperatures are possible due to an innovative and massive spindle head design
- Thermal stability is achieved by strictly symmetrical builds and cooling structures that ensure consistent cooling air circulation around the entire spindle
Tailstock:
- The rigid tailstock for shaft machining provides additionally flexibility in production operations
- The design with 2 additional box ways ensures collision-free tailstock movements, extra long guideways and superior rigidity and precision of guides result in excellent vibration damping even during heavy machining operations
- Automatic tailstock is available as an option.
