Dalian combines power, flexibility & affordability in CKE lathes
The most powerful and largest capacity, in the six machine Z-Series of CKE combination lathes from Dalian will set a new standard for affordability and performance at MACH 2008.
The first UK showing of the 22 Kw, 800mm swing, high performance CKE 6180Z CNC lathe represents the most powerful and largest capacity, in the six machine Z-Series of CKE combination lathes from Dalian.
This machine is targeted at demanding industries such as those related to the oil and gas sector or requiring heavy shaft machining and need a highly flexible turning solution.
The Dalian CKE 6180Z being demonstrated on the 600 Centre stand, features the OiTC, the very latest in operator friendly control systems from Fanuc with Manual Guide i conversational programme assist software. The control is mounted in an ergonomically located travelling housing that provides the ideal operating position anywhere along the Z-axis. Providing the high functionality required for general purpose machining and small batch cycles, fast data input is achievable through direct drawing dimension programming to complement the combination of high build standards and a heavy duty cast iron construction of the machine gives ultimate levels of rigidity.
Maximum advantage for power cutting can be taken from the spread of the 550 mm wide bed and the range of optional ‘between centre’ distances of 1,000 mm, 1,500 mm, 2,000 mm, 3,000 mm and 4,000 mm. This capacity is ideal for heavy duty shaft work enabling machining under full CNC automated cycle control using the four position horizontal electric turret or optional six position vertical turret.
Through a geared headstock, giving four speed ranges, spindle speeds between 40 and 1,000 revs/min can be selected for manual turning or under CNC program control. For fast positioning, 8 m/min rapid traverse is available in the Z-axis and 4 m/min in the X.
As with each machine in the 600 Group PLC’s Dalian range, it carries the Group 4 star Assurance package of top quality specification, compliance with European standards and has been factory inspected by 600 Group engineers. Once installed, full after sales support is assured.
There are a wide range of options to suit the specific tasks users could need when using such a powerful lathe. A choice of Pratt Burnerd super high precision chucks, a PARAT 4-way toolpost and a complete range of steadies and faceplates is available as well as a high pressure coolant system.
