Frequently asked questions about CNC lathes
What is the difference between a flat bed and a slant bed lathe?
A flat bed lathe has horizontal guideways and reaches ø800 mm swing and 4,000 mm between centres: it is the choice for shafts and long or large-diameter parts. A 30°/45° slant bed improves chip evacuation and operator access, and with its 12-station live-tool turret and C axis it can turn, mill and drill in a single clamping.
Which lathe do I need if my operators can't program CNC?
A cycle-controlled electronic lathe. It is operated with handwheels, like a conventional lathe, and turning, facing, threading and copying cycles are set by parameters on the touch screen of the Vurcon V2.0 control (Teach-In), without writing ISO code.
Which CNC control do Vurcon lathes use?
Most flat bed lathes use Fagor 8060 Elite. Slant bed lathes use Fanuc 0i-TF Plus. Cycle-controlled lathes use the Vurcon V2.0 cycle control with a 15-inch touch screen.
Are there CNC lathes with live tooling?
Yes. All slant bed lathes have a 12-station live-tool turret and C axis, with versions with Y axis and sub-spindle. In flat bed lathes, the PL-61M and PLM-50 series.
Who provides the technical service?
Technical service is provided by the brand itself, from Monforte del Cid (Alicante, Spain): technicians who know the machine because it is their own.
