CNC Lathe Machine
The push for advanced techniques and automated milling operations in the manufacturing industry has resulted in high demand for cutting-edge turning centers. Metal lathes, a standard of manufacturing operations for over a hundred years, are now available with Computer Numeric Control (CNC), creating incredibly precise turning centers. CNC Lathes are used by the most advanced manufacturers, from manufacturing to the automotive and aerospace sectors – anywhere that precise turning is needed.
CNC advanced technology provides programmable, repeatable machine control. Combined with CAD/CAM technology, operators can design high-performance parts and execute high-precision instructions with a single setup. CNC programs are infinitely repeatable, ensuring consistency and precision of even intricate designs throughout the milling process. The ability to enter new programs as needed means that CNC lathes are also ideal for prototyping and light production.
Summit Machine Tool provides a wide range of CNC milling machines to metalworking and machining operations, making us one of the industry’s largest suppliers. We currently offer several CNC lathes for sale in various dimensions. These lathes provide swings from 20 inches up to 100 inches, with spindle bores from 3” to 21”, and turning center distances up to 480”. Looking for an oversized lathe with a center distance greater than 480 inches? Summit would love to help – we have both new and used CNC lathes for sale. Simply contact our sales department directly for more information at (800) 654 3262.
The SmartCut CNC Lathes aim to fill the gap for machine shops transitioning to CNC turning production from older manual lathes. The SmartCut Lathes offer basic manual axis control through electric handwheels or with fully programmable CNC inputs. These lathes have the capabilities to handle single phase prototype tasks or full automation productions.
The SmartCut CNC lathes provide a helping hand to any operators or programmers still learning as they go. The SmartCut lathes allow the operator to create a CNC program from a manually-turned part. Turn your part manually, then tell the lathe to create a CNC turning program. Save the instructions directly on the lathe, and you’ve got an instant template for future parts.
The Summit SmartCut Lathes are ideal for custom applications, prototyping, and medium-length production runs. Looking for the best CNC lathe for your shop? Contact Summit Machine Tool today and let us work with you!
