Low cost CNC universal lathes cut idle time 25%

Low capital cost is the hallmark of universal CNC lathes that offer up-to-the-minute technology at a bargain price and ensures up to 25% idle time reduction.
Low capital cost is the hallmark of models in DMG's CTX 10-Series of universal lathes. At MACH 2004 the high end of the series is represented by the new CTX 410, and making its first appearance in the UK at the show is the smallest in the range, the new CTX 210. Compared with competitive products, these machines offer up-to-the-minute technology at a bargain price.

Also available is the existing CTX 310 and new CTX510 machines.

Thanks to efficient production and assembly methods, the CTX 410 carries a typical price tag starting at GBP 54,900 with Fanuc control.

The use of high-tech components ensures up to 25% idle time reduction, resulting in greater productivity and profitability.

Examples include the integrated spindle motor that delivers drive power of 21kW and the fast 12-tool, servo-turret with change times of just 0.1 second.

The CTX 210 has a starting price of GBP 34,900 with Fanuc control.

Its integrated electro-spindle produces 7.5kW of drive power and its 12-tool servo-turret has an indexing time of 0.49 second.

A programmable tailstock is provided in the standard configuration of this machine.

In common with the other machines in the CTX 10-Series, the CTX 210 and 410 can be configured with options such as fixed and driven tools in all stations for powerful boring and milling.

High rapid traversing speeds ensure shorter positioning times.

To suit the customer's preference and application needs, all CTX models are available with a choice of three controls.

The guide price of the CTX 410 includes the Heidenhain IT with DINPlus and the CTX 210, the Fanuc 21iTB with ManualGuide.

The third option is the Siemens 840D with the latest Shop Turn 3D programming software.

All CNC systems provide superior 3D graphics, which can be viewed on all 4 CTX 10 line machines on the tilt-out operator panel for optimal ease of operation.
