CNC Precision Teach Lathes
New-Acu-Rite-Turnpwr-CNC-Control-Now-AvailableThe Kent CNC Precision Teach Lathes Series allows any shop to step up to CNC turning. Its easy to learn teach-in conversational programming enables machinists of any skill level to produce higher quality parts with lower labor costs. These CNC lathes are perfect for machine shops transitioning to CNC and for machine tool technical schools.

The Kent USA CNC Precision Teach Lathes offer you dependable, accurate, high-precision machining with efficient CNC technology. These machines provide maximum accuracy and minimal downtime. Kent USA CNC Precision Series Lathes come in work capacities of 14” x 40” to 22” x 120”, spindle bores of 1.5” to 3.582”, and up to 15 HP of spindle motor.

Anatomy of Our CNC Precision Teach Lathes
Our teach lathes are built with strong, stable, and wider bed way for maximum vibration absorption. The entire bed features outstanding structural rigidity. Dovetailed carriage and cross slide are hardened, high precision ground, coated with Turcite-B and scrape finished to ensure uniform surfaces.

The tailstock is constructed with increased throat depth in tailstock with MT #4 interior taper quill. When utilizing the manual 4-way tool post, electric H4 turret or hydraulic P8 turret, it allows for free cutting of long workpieces. For manual drilling, the quill can be set to zero for drill depth measurement. This teach lathe series can be optionally equipped with a foot-actuated hydraulic tailstock quill.

- Guaranteed Circular Accuracy to 50 millionths of an inch
- Fanuc 0i-Mate TD Control Standard (Opt. Fagor 8055i CNC Control)
- Powerful 3 HP motor (5HP-Optional) with Yaskawa current vector inverter drive for improved torque response at low end.
- Spindle mounted on high precision preloaded angular contact ball bearings
- Precision ballscrew on X, Z-axes
- Protection guard on Z-axis ballscrew
- X, Z-axes feeds driven by AC Servo Motor
- X, Z-axes ballscrews directly coupled to AC Servo Motor, minimizing backlash
- Solid one-piece enclosed headstock has high precision preloaded ball bearing spindle with 5C collet capacity
- Solid full bearing tailstock that supports any load to the preloaded ball bearing spindle headstock
- STEP CHUCKS – exceptionally useful for accurately holding work up to 6″ in diameter. Castings, moldings, stampings, and machined parts can be held rigidly and accurately.
- STEP CHUCKS AND CLOSERS – carried in stock in 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″ and 6″ rated sizes. All step chucks are supplied with pinholes in place for precision machining.
- CHUCK CLOSERS – fit directly to the machine spindle. A taper corresponding to that on the periphery of the step chuck places the closing pressure over the stepped area of the chuck, resulting in greater gripping power and accuracy.
- Fast Lever Collet Chucking
- Power Collet Closer (Air-Operated Automatic Chucking)
- Optional Gang Tooling
- Wide variety of accessories to increase versatility
