Slant Bed CNC Lathe

When it comes to selecting a Slant Bed CNC Lathe, many technical aspects must be taken into account to maximize performance and achieve optimal productivity. Here are the most important characteristics to consider when choosing the machine best suited for your specific requirements:

■ Workpiece Capacity. This refers to the maximum dimensions that can be processed on the machine. For example, the CK630 can handle workpieces up to 630mm swing over bed with options for 1000-3000mm center distance, while the compact HT32 is designed for parts up to 320mm diameter with 280mm turning length. Consider your typical workpiece sizes to choose the most suitable machine.

■ Control System Options. Haitong offers multiple control system options including GSK as standard, with optional Siemens, Fanuc, Syntec, and Mitsubishi systems. The choice of control system should align with operator familiarity and existing shop floor infrastructure.

■ Spindle Specifications. Spindle power, speed range, and through-hole capacity are crucial factors. The CK630 features a powerful 15kW spindle with speeds of 150-1500rpm and 105mm spindle bore, while the HT32 offers a 3.7kW spindle with 3500rpm speed range and 48mm bore. Match these specifications to your material and cutting requirements.

■ Tool Management System. Tool capacity and change time significantly impact productivity. The CK630 includes an 8-position hydraulic turret for larger operations, while the HT32 offers a 4-station gang type tool post optimized for smaller parts. Consider your typical operation sequences and required tool variety.

■ Precision Requirements. Different machines offer varying levels of precision. The CK630 achieves 0.003mm positioning accuracy, while the HT32 maintains 0.02mm positioning accuracy and 0.01mm repeatability. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Machine Construction. Consider the machine’s structural design based on your applications. The slant bed design with Taiwan linear rails and ball screws provides superior stability and precision, while different bed widths suit various machining requirements. The CK630 features a 45° guideway width for optimal chip removal and operational efficiency.

■ Additional Features. Evaluate supplementary features like hollow hydraulic chucks, hydraulic tailstocks, and coolant systems. For instance, the CK630 includes a hydraulic tailstock for enhanced workpiece support, while both machines offer comprehensive warranty coverage and technical support.

These factors should guide your selection process, but remember that each manufacturing requirement is unique and may benefit from customized solutions. Haitong’s technical team can assist in determining the optimal configuration for your specific needs.
