FAST CUT Model FC-SB10 utilizes two 2-axis turrets and one spindle with 2 collets driven in center by one servo motor, allowing different cutting operations to be performed simultaneously on both ends of cylindrical part. Tailstocks and spindle extensions permit machining of parts from 3-19 in. long. Capacities range from 3/16-2 5/8 in. dia and maximum turning length for each turret is 8 in. With 10 hp drive, standard spindle speed is 30-4,000 rpm.

East Hampton, CT November 15, 2004, INTERTECH WORLDWIDE CORPORATION has introduced "FAST CUT" Model FC-SB10 CNC Centerdrive machine featuring (2) 2 Axis Turrets, (1) Spindle with (2) Collets driven in the center by one servo motor. allowing different cutting operations to be performed simultaneously on both ends of a cylindrical part. With the centerdrive machine operation, parts can be machined complete in one chucking or clamping operation, achieving higher concentricity and meeting high production requirements and greater efficiency. Equipped with (2) eight position bidirectional servo turrets, the part gripping system utilizes Hainbuch Quick-Change Collets while the main spindle is servo driven through a timing belt with the motor located and protected under the spindle head. All servo motors and drives are FANUC with a FANUC 18-TC Control. Tailstocks, and spindle extensions permit the machining of parts from 3 inch long shafts up to 19 inches in length. Diameter capacities range from 3/16 inch to 2-5/8 inch. Standard maximum turning length for each turret is 8 inch. For parts longer than 19 inches or for long parts of small diameters, an additional programmable 2nd head can be supplied to support the part for machining. Standard spindle speed range is 30 to 4000 rpm. Top speed for the 2-5/8 inch capacity lathe is 3000 rpm. Standard horsepower drive is 10 hp constant with higher horsepower drives available as an option when heavy material removal is necessary. Full [sup.3]C[sup.2] Axis control of the spindle and live tools in the turrets are options. Machine comes with a chain type chip conveyor. The machine conforms to CE specifications. For unsymmetrical or special shaped ends, robot loading and unloading systems are available. For shorter runs the collets can be controlled by the use of a foot pedal and parts can be manually loaded and unloaded.
