NEW: vertical lathe by Knuth Machine Tools
Saturn Serie
- Ideal for machining of large turning diameters and enhanced materials requiring superior rigidity and machine power
Machine bed:
- Well designed construction and a very small footprint make this machine perfect for integration into production lines
- Optimum integration into automation solutions was a major focus during machine development
- The frame design's rigidity and stability are well above average in this class
- Wide boxways ensure superior vibration damping, especially when machining with incremental cuts
- A wide support saddle with maximum guide length will result in significantly more stability and much less vibration
- The design is very spacious and features a large work area for tools
- The preloaded ball screws connect to powerful drives via a zero-loss transmission clutch, and extensive bilateral bearings ensure high axial and radial rigidity and minimize deviations caused by heating and preloading of spindle
Main spindle and headstock:
- The main spindle is designed for demanding loads and lasting accuracy
- Easy access and robust structure have a proven record in everyday use
Equipment:
- Fanuc 0i TD control
- Perfectly organized layout and well-designed details ensure maximum operator comfort and a comfortable work environment
- Servo-turret for quick and precise tool changes
- Solid structure and powerful clamping virtually eliminate vibrations completely resulting in a significantly longer tool life.
- High tool changing dynamics are achieved via high-torque servo motor
