Cnc Trainer Lathe

PCT- 100 is a CNC trainer lathe built on a sturdy, ground bed with larger width. The saddle and cross slide are also strong. The drive to both axes is given by powerful stepper motors and ballscrews which make cutting of steel possible. A 6-station automatic tool indexing turret is provided for 3 OD turning and 3 ID turning tools. A face coupling is provided in turret for accurate indexing. Drive to the spindle is by a DC motor with variable speed in six transmissions. Spindle is hardened and precision ground, and is housed in a rugged headstock with high precision angular contact bearings. Tailstock is provided so that centre to centre turning is possible. Height of centres is 70 mm; distance between centres: 310 mm; swing over bed: 100 mm; swing over cross slide: 60 mm; and the travel of cross slide is 55 mm. Being tropicalised and tested as per IS:9000 environmental tests, it offers high reliability. The PCT-100 is supplied with PC-based simultaneous 2-axis CNC controller, so that many essential features necessary for CNC training are in-built, such as constant surface cutting speed, high resolution, high memory, and many canned cycles for contour and threading. It is also FMS compatible. The lathe is operated using the PC keyboard or mouse. The user interface is an integrated development environment used for entering part programs, simulating the resulting tool movements, editing the part program as required, dry-running the lathe and finally machining the actual part. Several kinds of displays are possible. 2-D tool path as well as animated display are available in both Simulate and Run modes. A 3-D view helps to visualise the part in simulation. Real time animation shows a scaled view of the part as it is actually machined. An alphanumeric display is also available. CAD/CAM support is available through an optional TCAM package. TCAM generates part programs from part drawings, imparting training in CAD/CAM and the intricacies of tool-nose radius compensation.
