Slantbed Lathes N-Series

Product catalog summary

Overview of NILES-SIMMONS N-Series Slantbed Lathes:
The NILES-SIMMONS N-Series is a modular series of CNC slantbed lathes available in five size graduations from N10 to N50. These machines are designed for efficient and high-precision turning of rotationally symmetrical workpieces, including secondary shaping. They are equipped to handle roughing, heavy-duty machining, and finishing tasks.

Key Features:

Modular Design: Offers multiple configurations and combinations for chucking and shaft machining, with options for single or double tool turrets, counter spindles, and transfer spindles.
High Cutting Efficiency: Features high torque drive systems and generously dimensioned guideway systems and bearings.
Operator and Maintenance Friendly: Ergonomic design with separate service aisles and low machine access.
Environmental Considerations: Supports hard and dry machining with thermally stable sub-assemblies.
Flexible Automation: Capable of integration into automatic loading systems and production lines.

Technical Specifications:

Working Area: Machines can handle workpieces up to 8,000mm in length and 1,250mm in swing.
Tool Turrets: Configurable for axial and radial tool acceptance, with or without modular holder exchange systems.
Spindle Options: Main spindle and counter spindle options with various drive configurations.
CNC Controls: Available with Fanuc or Bosch-Rexroth controls.

Advanced Features:

CAM Solutions: For NC programming and process optimization.
Collision Avoidance: Real-time collision avoidance with Protection-Control-System (PCS®-online).
Process Monitoring: Includes static process monitoring with measurement and correction strategies.
Condition Monitoring: Online diagnosis capabilities.

Applications:

Extensive applications for complete machining, including turning, milling, tapping, drilling, thread rolling, and more.

Conclusion:
The NILES-SIMMONS N-Series slantbed lathes provide a comprehensive solution for high-precision and efficient machining, with a focus on modularity, flexibility, and advanced technological integration.
