The CNC Precision Teachable Lathe – High Volume Parts Production, Small Footprint

The RKL-1540 is a CNC teachable precision lathe offering advanced technology that delivers precise turning centers for cutting, milling, threading, tapping and boring. This lathe offers complete flexibility for precise automated machining with a single setup. This CNC teaching lathe has the capability for high volume parts production with a small footprint. The RKL-1540 has a 16.14” swing, 35” distance between centers and a bed width of 10.236”.

Heavy Duty Spindle

The headstock has an A1-6 cam lock mount spindle nose. The spindle has a low- and high-speed setting of 225-480 and 481-3000 RPMs respectively. The main spindle unit is powered with 5.5kw/7.5kw (30 minute rated). A FANUC 0i-TF (3) – 8.4” color monitor allows for improved CNC setup, monitoring and controls.

Headstock

Rugged headstock and gears are hardened by MAAG or REISHAUER. Ground for smooth, quiet and vibration-free running.
Pressurized cyclic lubrication from separate electric pump and oil reservoir provides a constant flow to all gears and bearings, which maintains excellent thermal stability. Hot oil does not stay in the headstock, thus, reducing thermal expansion and workpiece intolerance.
The Teachable Precision Lathe‘s 4 parallel V-belt assures drive in extremely stable, smooth turning with minimum vibration.

Convenient Manual Control

Providing convenient manual control for X, Z axis. Moveable operation control box is also equipped with two electronic handwheels.
Comprehensive, waterproof function keys and push buttons enhance operational convenience
