Seven Core Configurations of the Multifunctional CNC Wood Lathe, Far Ahead of Its Peers

Robust Construction for Ultra-High Stability

The machine bed adopts a heavy-duty, double-row, four-track reinforced design made of gray cast iron, providing exceptional load-bearing capacity. It effectively withstands the weight of the machine, workpiece, and machining forces, allowing for the installation of more complex tools while ensuring superior stability during operation.

Premium Materials for Precision Transmission

This CNC wood lathe has three linear axes: X, Y, and Z. The Z axis is driven by rack + linear guide, and the X and Y axes are driven by ball screw + linear guide.

• Guideway: Taiwan-made HIWIN 30 linear guide rails with flange sliders provide a large contact surface to handle multi-directional loads, enhancing stability and preventing deformation under heavy long-term use.

• Ball screws: TBI ball screws offer high transmission efficiency, requiring only 1/3 the driving torque of ACME screws, with positioning accuracy up to 0.01mm.

• Rack: 1.5-module high-precision helical rack ensures smooth meshing, higher torque capacity, and quieter operation.

All three axes are powered by 1800W pure servo motors, with the Z-axis additionally equipped with a Japanese Shimpo planetary reducer. The traversing speed can reach 60 m/min, with a wide speed control range, smooth speed regulation, stable torque output, and high positioning accuracy.

Meticulous Details, Reflecting Premium Quality

In order to meet the dust prevention needs during the machining, this CNC wood lathe has also done a lot of dust prevention or dust removal. The Z axis is equipped with a closed dust cover, and the X axis is equipped with a dust scraper and brush for sweeping away machining waste. It effectively prevents material debris from entering the transmission system, improves the reliability of the machine and reduces maintenance costs.

Large-Scale Machining with Versatile Engraving & Milling

Machining size: It can process blanks with a maximum length of 1500mm and a maximum diameter of 300mm.

Lathe center: The drive-spindle adopts a 4KW pure servo high-speed rotary motor, which can rotate at high speed during turning (the maximum speed can reach 6000rpm), and can be indexed when milling, engraving, and drilling are required.

Comprehensive Functions for Diverse Machining Needs

1. Two turning stations on the same side are standard, which can be used with a variety of tools.
2. A 7.5KW air-cooled spindle for planers, with a speed of up to 18,000rpm, and a planer with a length of 15 cm and a diameter of 6 cm is standard.
3. Three 6KW high-speed air-cooled variable frequency spindles, supporting ER32 shank diameter. Two of the spindles located on the outside can be manually rotated to achieve tilting machining of the workpiece.
4. A sanding station. Three options are available: sanding wheel, sanding belt, and sanding roller. 150-mesh sandpaper is standard, and 80-300-mesh sandpaper is optional. The sanding device is driven by an independent brushless servo motor, and the speed can be adjusted as needed within 0-6000 rpm.

Fully Automatic Loading/Unloading, Reducing Labor Costs

This CNC wood lathe is equipped with an automatic loading and unloading device.

1. Before machining, the loading and unloading device needs to be adjusted according to the length and diameter of the material to be processed, and then the blanks are filled into the hopper.
2. After machining begins, the loading cylinder accurately sends the blank from the hopper to the center of the workstation, and then the lathe center automatically clamps the workpiece and starts machining.
3. After machining is completed, the unloading cylinder ejects the finished product from the workstation, causing it to fall into the receiving slide below. Then, the loading cylinder continues to feed in wood to start the next round of machining.

The hopper is equipped with a limit switch. When the wood in the hopper is exhausted, the limit switch will send a signal to the control system to automatically stop machining.

Top-tier electrical components, where quality makes all the difference.

All electrical components of the CNC wood lathe are purchased from Schneider, Delixi and other top-tier upstream suppliers to ensure the reliability and stability of the electrical system.

High-flexibility pure copper shielded cable is used, which has good conductivity, strong anti-interference ability, high flexibility, bending resistance and not easy to damage.

The air hoses is made of thickened PU material, with high resilience and high pressure resistance, and does not harden at low temperature and does not soften at high temperature.

The control cabinet adopts separate layout for high/low voltage, preventing electromagnetic interference.
