PRODUCT INFO

 

5/7.5 HP Servo Spindle


8-Tool Turret - 6" Manual Chuck - Manual Tailstock

The casting design of the STL6 slant bed CNC turning center with tailstock is a little different from the SL6, in order to allow for the placement of the tail stock  Thetailstock on this slant bed CNC turret-tailstock latheslides on it's own set of linear guides which are positioned at the front of and parallel to the right end of the machine bed.

The STL6 still has the same true slant bed design as the SL6, with the headstock and turret designed on the same bed plane. The STL6 slant bed CNC turning center with tailstock also has similar dimensions and features to the SL6, including the high quality Pragati bi-directionsal turret.  The STL6 base design is a heavier, to increase rigidity when turning longer workpieces.

As with all AutoMate CNC lathes, the STL6 features a closed loop system with servos and Siemens 808D CNC control with conversational programming.  The STL6 also has high quality components like Siemens servos and drives, Schneider electronids, PMI ball screws and Hiwin linear guideways.

The STL6 slant bed CNC turning center with tailstock comes standard with a manual chuck and tailstock. An optional hydraulic chuck and hydraulic tailstock are available. Using a hydraulic chuck can significantly increase operational efficienty. Tests have also shown that using a hydraulic tailstock can reduce set-up time by up to 90% over the use of a manual tailstock.


OVERVIEW

Slant Bed CNC Turret-Tailstock Lathe

Parts Making - Power and Precision
High speed production lathe with precision bi-directional indexing turret - PLUS, a versatile, hydraulic actuated tail stock. Similar mono-block bed/spindle design to the SL6 with similar rigidity and precision. However, the base casting on the STL6 is a bit different, in order to accomodate the tailstock.  

The tailstock slides on linear guides that line-up in front of and parallel to the lathe bed.  The tail stock on the STL6 is not mounted on the machine ways, but on it's own set of linear ways.

The addition of the tail stock allows for machining of longer work pieces that require support during turning operations. The STL6 is a popular model for machine shops and contract manufacturers that want a CNC lathe that allows them broader capabilites.

The high quality, 8-position turret has high positioning accuracy and repeatability. Bi-directional indexing of the turret allows for the shortest indexing and cycle time.

           FEATURES

           

          Lathe Machine
          Mono-Block Cast Iron - True Slant Bed One piece cast iron foundation is a true 35 degree slant bed casting, providing large mass in a small footprint. More mass means higher rigidity and better heat dissipation.
          Slant Bed Design A slant bed lathe allows for better chip flow. A slant bed lathe can handle a large volume of chips, while protecting the ways from chips and debris. The operator has easier access to the chuck and work table with a slant bed - easier for set-up.
          Full Enclosure Machine is completely enclosed with a sliding front access door and easy access panels on tailstock end and machine back side. Coolant and chips are enclosed and properly recycled. Electromagnetic lock keeps operator safe.
          1.89” Spindle Bore With A2-5 spindle nose. Generous bore size for easy pass through of large stock and easy access for optional pneumatic or hydraulic chuck. Adaptable for automatic bar feeder.
          Hydraulic 6” 3-Jaw Chuck Standard features include a 6" hollow bore hydraulic actuated 3-Jaw Chuck.
          8-Tool Precision Bi-Directional Turret Electric indexing turret allows for flexibility in tooling and programming option. Turret lathes tend to be easier to program, especially when cutting complex parts. Bi-direction changes allows for higher speed and efficiency.
          Hydraulic Tail Stock Hydraulic actuated tail stock slides on it's own set of linear ways that are positioned in front of and parallel to the machine bed ways.  The tailstock body is positioned by a tracton bar, and automatically driven by a hydraulic actuator.  Up to 90% more efficient when compared to a manual tail stock.
          Tool Box and Tools A set of the basic tools required for maintenance are included with this lathe. Gives you what you need to get up and running and for routine maintenance.  
          Foundation Pads Heavy machined leveling pads adjust the height to keep your machine aligned and balanced. Solid multi-point contact with shop floor reduces vibration, and increases accuracy.
          Drive System
          7.5 HP Servo Spindle Drive Plenty of power to match the machine’s capacity - nearly twice the power of comparably priced machines. Capable of rigid tapping and spindle positioning.
          50-3000 Spindle Speed Range Infinitely variable speed changes, from 50 to 3000 RPMs in a single speed range. 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 reliability of Schneider Electrical components. Highest reliability rating - highly efficient design reduces power usage.
          PMI Ball Screws World-class standard ball screws - efficiently transmit rotary motion to linear motion, allowing for high-speed, highly accurate axis movements. Accurate ball circle diameters through length of ball screw assures consistent drag torque and low noise.
          Precision Hiwin Linear Guideways w/Telescoping Covers World-class standard linear motion guideways come standard on the TS-1117. Stainless steel telescoping guards provide maximum protection of guideways from chips and coolant.
          Feed Rates: 800 IPM on X / 1000 IPM on Y Good power, plus high-quality linear guides and ball screws turn this lathe into a high speed turning center.
