FL300-II - FLAT BED TURNING CENTER CNC TURRET LATHE -
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Production Grade Flat Bed CNC Turning Center
8-Tool Turret - Long Work Table w/ Gang Plate
The FL300-II adds to the already impressive list of features on the FL300 series by adding a precision 8-Station turret. This flat bed CNC turret lathe allows for a higher level of turning operations - while maintaining the value pricing, speed and production capacity that the FL line is known for.
The precision turret, along with the extra long table and 14" X axis travel allows for an even greater amount of tooling capacity. Rapid feed rates of up to 1000 IPM are possible with world-class quality ball screws and linear ways.
A pneumatic collet system with foot actuator, ergonomic control, and digital handwheel are a few of the features that make this low-cost gang tool lathe one of the best deals for volume production CNC lathes.
Designed for low cost and volume production applications, this lathe is also used widely in education, machine shops, home shops and second operation settings.

| Lathe Machine | |
| Extra Large Table and Long X Axis | Large work table and a long X axis stroke allows for the mounting and efficient operation of a large number of tools. Provides more flexibility and variation in tooling and turning set-ups. Live tooling options available. |
| Heavy Castings with Cast Base | Compact, rigid machine design - weighing over 2600 lbs. High weight-to-work cube ratio assures high rigidity, even when taking heavy cuts. |
| Full Enclosure | Machine is completely enclosed with a sliding front access door and easy access panels on the tailstock end and machine back side. Coolant and chips are enclosed and properly recycled. Electromagnetic lock keeps operator safe. |
| 1.46” Spindle Bore | Easy access for standard pneumatic collet system. Optional hydrualic system, and collet system available. Adaptable for an automatic bar feeder, and live tooling. |
| Precision 8-Station Turret - With Bi-Directional Indexing | World-class quality Pragati turret is precision machined and manufactured. Superior quality control is practiced throughtout the production and testing of each turret. Bi-directional tool change capability also adds speed and efficiency to tool changes. An additional advantage of turret lathes, considered by many, is that they tend to be easier and more logical to program, especially when cutting complex parts. |
| Pneumatic Collet Closer with Auxiliary Start Button, Foot Actuator or at the control. | Collet system is air actuated with auxiliary start button - within easy reach of operator. Improves efficiency and safety for the operator. |
| Tool Box and Tools | A set of the basic tools required for maintenance are included with this late. Gives you what you need to get up and running and for routine maintenance. |
| Foundation Pads | Heavy machined leveling pads that adjust the height to keep your machine aligned and balanced. Solid multi-point contact with shop floor reduces vibration and increases accuracy. |
| Drive System | |
| 4 HP Spindle Drive | Plenty of power to match the machine’s capacity. Capable of rigid tapping and spindle positioning. |
| 50-3000 Spindle Speed Range | Infinitely variable speed ranges, from 50 to 3000 RPMs. No need for changing gears or belts. |
| Schneider Electrical Components | One reason we can offer an 18 month machine warranty is because of the recognized quality, and reliabilty of Schneider Electrical components. Highest reliability rating - highy efficient design reduces power usage. |
| High Quality Hiwin Linear Guideways w/Telescoping Covers | World-class standard linear motion guideways come standard on the FL300. Stainless steel telescoping guards provide maximum protection of guideways from chips and coolant. |
| PMI Ball Screws | PMI ball screws efficiently transmit rotary motion to linear motion - allowing for high speed, and highly accurate axis movements. Accurate ball circle diameters throughout length of ball screw assures consistent drag torque and low noise. |
| Feed Rates of 600 on X and Y Axes | Faster speeds equals higher production rates. The Siemens industrial control, axis servo drive system and linear ways provide the power and control needed for higher speeds. The FL300-II rapid and feed rates are many times faster then competitive CNC lathe systems. |
| Safety/Operation | |
| Ergonomic Control Panel and Operator Interface | Machine control panel adjusts and rotates up to 90 degrees. High tactile buttons, manual pulse generator, and convenient cycle start buttons improve operator convenience, efficiency, and safety. |
| Auxiliary Cycle Start | Easy access buttons allow operator to operate pneumatic or hydraulic chuck with the push of a button. Having a second E-Stop within easy reach also adds to the safety features of this lathe. |
| Manual Pulse Generator | Handheld pendant that allows operator to be independent from the main control panel. The rotating knob generates pulses that are sent to the machine control, allowing the operator to move the lathe a predetermined distance with each click of the knob detent. |
| Automatic Lubrication System | Lubricates all wear points during machine operation at continuous time intervals. Benefits include reduced labor and material costs, and significant extension of bearing life. |
| Programmable Coolant System | Control coolant at the control panel using standard M-Codes. Cycle times can be significantly reduced, while feed and cutting speeds can be significantly increased. Proper cooling extends life of cutting tools. |
| Work Light | Focused lighting elements increase operator efficiency and reduce fatigue. This light is flicker resistant - also waterproof, resistant to cooling and lubricants. Impact and vibration resistant. |
| Tri-Color Alarm Light | Green light turns red when control alarm recognizes a machining error, or machine malfunction. An operator standing away from the machine is visually alerted by the activated alarm light when machining cycle is finished or machine errors out. |
| Siemens 808D CNC Control | |
| Closed Loop System | System directly monitors motor position and velocity in real time. The system then automatically makes corrections to assure correct tool positioning. High accuracy and maximum parts quality ensures a minimal rejection rate. Also assures smoother surface finishes. |
| Siemens Servos and Drives | Achieves rapid acceleration and higher speeds - maintains high torque throughout speed range. Motor is highly efficient - and it stays cool. Quiet at high speeds and vibration free operation. |
| Ideal for CNC Beginners | Ideal for entry level CNC users. The innovative, integrative start-GUIDE from Siemens provides an on-line digital help function on every screen. Helpful instructions are available anytime - at a push of a button. |
| Simple & Intuitive Interface | Well designed conversational programming functions and Wizards from Siemens help streamline programming at the control panel. All Siemens 808D controls come standard with this SINUMERIK Operate BASIC functionality. |
| Compact and Robust | Industrial panel design with hardened features is ideal for harsh environments. Small compact design matches smaller machines tools like the AutoMate CNC line. |
| USB Connector - Easily Handles Large Files | This unique Siemens function allows for streaming of large program files direct from a USB. Machining large program files can be accomplished with the Siemens 808D. Other CNC systems lack this robust level of functionality. |
| Built-In Helps | Several Siemens provided “assists” help streamline programming functions. One example would be Hot Keys. With the Hot Key function, machine operators can easily access commonly used screens using operator defined hot keys. |
