Fuji’s CSD-300 parallel-spindle lathe is designed to maximize material handling from a compact footprint. To secure parts with diameters measuring 200 × 100 mm and weighing 5kg + 5kg, the lathe features a hydraulic clamping loader and 8" to 10" capacity workholding chucks. A hardened boxway slide and a 2,260-mm-wide machine base enable heavy cutting capabilities.
The lathe is designed for quick and accurate turning of a variety of parts. The turret achieves speeds of 0.26 sec. per index, while dual, 100-mm-diameter spindles (A2-6) are equipped with 15/20-hp high output spindle motors. Robot alignment to spindle center line is achieved with the three-axis gantry robot control.
An auto shut-off LED light saves energy. According to the company, user-friendly features include a rear or side-positioned (optional) discharge chip conveyor, and maintenance items are all located in one section on the machine.
Without an international standard for designating carbide grades or application ranges, users must rely on relative judgments and background knowledge for success.
Lathes represent some of the oldest machining technology, but it’s still helpful to remember the basics when considering the purchase of a new turning machine.
Automation is only the tip of the iceberg for Famar, which also provides multitasking options for its vertical lathes and horizontal five-axis machine tools.
