A versatile 2-axis CNC lathe for training, engineering and light-duty industrial turning applications. Designed for high accuracy on a wide variety of materials. 5C spindle taper accommodates industry standard 5C collets.

Future engineers and CNC machinists must be prepared to enter the workforce with the knowledge and skills to use and operate new machining technologies. The proLIGHT Turning Center uses the latest innovative technology in its design to meet the challenges of today's students. In its totally enclosed cabinet with a machined and ground cast iron base it is able to machine most materials, including steel.

The proLIGHT 3000 Turning Center is a benchtop state-of-the-art CNC turning center. It uses EIA, ISO and Fanuc-compatible G&M codes as do larger CNC machines. It is a two-axis turning center with a 5C spindle and a collet capacity of up to 1-1/16".

Two options of tool holders are available; manual quick-change and an eight-tool automatic tool turret. Linear and circular interpolation, multi-tool programming, canned cycles, cutter compensation and threading are just a few of the programming modes the machine's software supports. The turning center is capable of doing internal machining and threading and includes a 4" self-centering chuck.
