Expanded Line of Big Bore CNC Flat Bed Lathe
June 1, 2014
Sharp Industries has expanded its line of Big Bore CNC Flat Bed Lathes that are especially made to handle big parts and large mold workpieces.
Sharp's new ST Series machines are driven by FANUC Oi-TC controls and servo drives. They can also be equipped with Siemens or Fagor controls. Maximum swing over bed ranges from 37" to 50", and the distances between centers from 60" to 236" or more. Spindle bore sizes are available from 6", 9", 12" to 15". The machines have a bed width of 24" or 32"; larger size bed width will be available soon.
The machine beds are constructed from high quality Meehanite castings. All guideways are Turcite-B coated for better oil retention and resistance to wear. Electrical cabinets are temperature controlled with heat exchange system. Spindle oil chiller is available for controlling headstock and spindle heat expansion under heavy cutting conditions. To enhance cutting power of spindle motor, spindle speeds are designed with four steps increments, hydraulically driven for speed changes. The tool change system is available in different styles. It offers a hydraulic four-way turret, V-8 or V-12 hydraulic turret system.
The tailstock and quill can be positioned by manual or hydraulic action.
The machine is supported by Sharp's two-year warranty on FANUC controls and one-year warranty on the machine. Sharp's nationwide dealer network provides sales and technical service for all Sharp products.
