Alpha 1550s x 300mm CNC Gap Bed Lathe

The Alpha 1500S x 300mm Gap Bed Lathe is a versatile and high-performance CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations, particularly suited for machining large and complex workpieces. As part of the Alpha series, this lathe offers a gap bed design, which allows for the accommodation of larger workpieces that cannot fit within the standard swing diameter. This feature makes it ideal for manufacturing where parts of varying sizes are produced.

With a swing over bed of 1,500mm and a 300mm gap bed, the Alpha 1500S allows for the turning of larger diameters without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy. The powerful spindle is capable of speeds up to 1,500 RPM, providing ample cutting power for both roughing and finishing operations. The high-torque spindle motor offers smooth and stable cutting, ensuring high-quality finishes and extended tool life, even when machining tougher materials like cast iron and steel.

The gap bed design enables the lathe to support a variety of workpiece sizes, providing additional flexibility compared to traditional lathes. The precision-ground bed and high-rigidity structure ensure excellent stability during heavy cutting, reducing vibration and maintaining high accuracy throughout the machining process. The machine features a 12-station turret for quick tool changes, improving overall production efficiency and minimizing downtime.

The Alpha 1500S x 300mm Gap Bed Lathe is equipped with CNC control systems such as Fanuc or Siemens, offering advanced programming capabilities, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration with automated systems. The CNC system enhances ease of use, enabling complex part programming, reduced setup times, and high-quality results in a variety of applications.

In terms of chip management, the Alpha 1500S comes with an efficient coolant system designed to maintain clean cutting conditions and extend tool life. The lathe is also automation-ready, allowing for integration with robotic loaders, bar feeders, and gantry systems for lights-out manufacturing.

Overall, the Alpha 1500S x 300mm Gap Bed Lathe provides a flexible, dependable, and efficient machining solution for manufacturers needing to turn large and heavy workpieces while maintaining high precision and productivity. Its combination of powerful spindle performance, gap bed design, and advanced CNC control makes it an ideal choice for a variety of demanding machining applications.
