General specifications for CNC lathes

The ‘Optima’ range of Multi-Slide lathes has 2 machine bed sizes and 4 spindle capacities. The machines have a 3 axes uppe slide with capacity for 8 tools, 3 of them can be motorized. The 2 axes platen slide can up to 12 tools. 6 tools are used in the main spindle with a further 6 tools capable of working simultaneously on the second spindle. It has 4 positions for motorized tools allowing off-centre drilling and tapping. The second spindle allows the simultaneous machining of secondary operations. The machines are supplied with either an Interactive Touch Screen PC Control or Multi-Axis ISO Fagor 8070 Control; both systems allowing simultaneous machining with up to3 tools. The machines are complete with parts catcher, coolant tank and swarf conveyor.

The ‘Maxima’ (Version A) range of Multi-Slide lathes has 2 machine bed sizes and 4 spindle capacities. The machines have twin 3 axes slides mounted either side of the main spindle. All machines have an 8 stations turret slide. The larger 42 and 65mm machines also have 2 axes on the turret slide. All of the machines can be fitted with turret power tooling to 4 stations and pick-off unit enabling secondary operations. Cross drilling/ milling units can be fitted to all machines. The machines are supplied with either an Interactive Touch Screen PC Control or Multi-Axis ISO Fagor 8070 Control; both systems allowing simultaneous machining with up to 4 tools. The machines are complete with parts catcher, coolant tank and swarf conveyor.

The ‘Maxima’ (Version B) range of Multi-Slide lathes has 2 machine bed sizes and 2 spindle capacities. The machines have a 3 axis upper slide with the provision for 6 tools of which 3 can be driven. All machines have an 8 station turret slide. The larger 42mm machine also has 2 axes on the turret slide and movement in Z-axis on the 2nd operation to enable simultaneous 2nd op and main op. On the smaller 36mm machine there is an additional single position heavy duty 2 axis slide. All of the machines can be fitted with turret power tooling to 4 stations pick-off unit allowing secondary operations. Cross drilling/milling units can be fitted to all machines. The machines are supplied with either an Interactive Touch Screen PC Control or Multi-Axis ISO Fagor 8070 Control; both systems allowing simultaneous machining with up to3 tools. The machines are complete with parts catcher, coolant tank and swarf conveyor.


The `CNC' range of Multi-Slide lathes has 2 machine bed sizes and 2 spindle capacities. The machines are equipped with a 2 axes front and rear slide as well as twin top slide. Both machines have an 8 station Z-axis turret slide, and can be equipped with turret power tooling to 4 stations an pick-off unit allowing secondary operations. The machines are supplied with either an Interactive Touch Screen PC Control or Multi-Axis ISO Fagor 8070 Control; both systems allowing simultaneous machining. The machines are complete with parts catcher, coolant tank and swarf conveyor.

Due to the policy of continuous improvement, the specifications can be modified without notice.
