FAS Synchroturn

The FAS Synchroturn is a 6 Axis Multi-slide CNC Lathe. It is typically 3 times as fast as conventional CNC lathes because as many as four tools can work simultaneously on the workpiece. It incorporates the following features: 8-station Turret moves in 2 axes Independent Turning Slide moves in 2 axes Independent Forming Slide Independent Parting Slide 1 Second Chucking Time .5 Second Turret Indexing Time Parts Catcher standard equipment Swarf Conveyor standard equipment Multi-processing P.C. Based Controller with User-friendly Interface The Synchroturn is a drop-in replacement for a cam automatic lathe and produces quicker cycle times. It is also far more versatile and user-friendly. Both Chucking and Turret Indexing are achieved electromechanically resulting in minimum non-productive times. This also eliminates the need for pneumatics and hydraulics.
