CNC Masters 1340 CNC Lathe

This CNC Lathe will instantly revert back to its manual capabilities eliminating the need to write a CNC program for short runs. Its advanced CNC capabilities can turn any complex turning application into a simple one that can be programmed and executed accurately many times over on production runs.

Improving production is critical to business growth and survival for companies limited on time and budgets. Having a turn-key solution that keeps the machining applications "in-house" instead of outsourcing and waiting for a turn-around time is critical for the growth of any company looking to get ahead of their competition while maintaining a high level of quality and keeping cost low. Most machinists love the idea of having the LOOK and FEEL of a manual lathe with CNC on it especially if it's turn-key, easy to learn, use, and most importantly they can begin turning their parts the same day the Lathe arrives at their shop. CNC Masters introduces its own brand of CNC lathe technology. The unique design of a conventional manual lathe with the power of automation technology through CNC allows any user to quickly machine their applications without advanced CNC training.

Now the entrepeuner can turn his own prototypes in-house without having to give away his product idea to another shop. Now R & D lab scientists and engineers do not have to "wait" for their parts to complete their designs. Novices completely new to the lathe machine have the ability of manually learning the machine's ability while slowly easing into CNC mode of operation. Now the one-man machine shop overwhelmed with a thousand chamfering applications in his limited space can use the CNC MASTERS 1340 Lathe to create a small toolpath program to drive the X and Z axes many times over with the click of the pc mouse.

The CNC MASTERS 1340 CNC Lathe is a Gear Head Bench Top mid-size turning center made for primary or secondary CNC machining applications. This 1340 lathe is intended for the user needing the ability and performance of a true CNC working lathe without taking up floor space like larger, expensive CNC machines which require highly skilled trained CNC machinists and service techinicians to tune and maintain the machine for you. The CNC MASTERS 1340 Lathe is a great purchase for small machine shops, research institutions, colleges, universities, high schools, engineers who need to quickly prototype their parts, and one-man operations who need to turn hundreds of the same single part in their home garage-turned-shop. This 1340 CNC Lathe machine makes a great investment tool for business owners who would rather save money by turning/facing their own parts instead of outsourcing the order out. Because of its size, the CNC MASTERS 1340 Lathe can fit in areas where space is limited, yet can machine just about any application within 13” on the swing or 8" over the cross slide, and 35.25” on the carriage travel.

THE CNC MASTERS 1340 CNC Lathe Turning Center IS TESTED FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE IN-HOUSE IN AZUSA, CA USA.
The CNC MASTERS 1340 Lathe Features:

• Works on operating systems: WINDOWS VISTA or XP 32 bit systems on USB.


• Powerful size 34 Z-axis micro-stepper motor within 1500 in/oz of torque to drive the carriage, and X-axis micro-stepper motor within 600 in/oz of torque to drive the cross slide. Stronger torque coupled with micro-stepping motion allows the CNC MASTERS 1340 Lathe to perform accurately without losing steps. The minimum possible motion is .0001” with a minimum speed of 0.5” per minute. The maximum speed is 50” per minute.
  


• Full 2 Axis coordinated motion control on bipolar motors--far superior over unipolar technology when it comes to torque and power. True Interpolation.
  


• Standard hand-wheels on each axis for manual option machining with axis motor disengage feature to retain full manual control as on a standard manual 1340 lathe.
  


• X & Z Axes Zero Backlash Ball Screws with pre-loaded ball nuts to eliminate play on the cross slide and carriage travel, and provides precision machining. These custom-made precision ball screws allow for precision turning, facing, chamfering, threading, and even milling and grinding operations. Ball screws are covered from flying swarf.
  


• X & Z Direct Drives--no timing belts to adjust. This results in smoother operations and ensures accuracy unlike pulley and belt drive methods which can cause the belt to buckle causing inaccurate results. This unique design of direct drive keeps the user from having the need to change the belt or adjust as it wears down.
  


• Computer Controlled Variable Spindle Speed, save time without having to change gears and program your spindle's speed in the Master Software through G-codes, simple english conversational commands, or on/off with your PC mouse.
  


• Encoder installed at the spindle for true positioning and computer control, making internal and external threading applications easy on CNC without needing to mechanically change gears and manually change levers on the lathe.
  


• Home Reference Sensors on the X & Z which saves your home/zero position as the first line of your program. This feature allows you to quickly return to the home position on any program without having to manually zero your two axes again.
  


• Limit Switches on both extreme ends of each axis allowing you to confidently test your program without having to worry about an axis travel to its end and causing extreme damage to the machine.
  


• Run your tool path from any line on your program
  


• Easy to Use Jogging Features and Feed Control by pc mouse or keyboard
  Jog-Input Command automatically writes each line of your toolpath as you manually jog each axis by pc mouse, keyboard, or the optional hand held remote control joystick to save as a program for repeat use.
  


• Software Power Feed capabilities on X & Z with one click of the pc mouse for exact relative driving distance.
  


• Hooks up to your PC, comes pre-built from the factory, and is completely tested before shipping out.
  


• Pre-engineered for you when it comes to pitch and resolution. No axis or motor tuning needed at setup. No additional parameters set-up required. Display resolution is 0.0001 micro-stepping travel. Just start using it.
  


• Run files from popular CAD-CAM softwares that produce standard G-Codes such as


• Mastercam, Surfcam, etc to machine intricate and detailed parts
  


• Easy guide window to create threading applications for any size pitch
  


• Load DXF files from graphic programs such as CorelDRAW into CAM softwares to machine or engrave detailed parts from scanned images
  


• Easily build a file of commands to turn simple parts without the need to learn to use a CAD-CAM program.
  


• Digital Read Out Display of your X & Z counters on your computer screen in INCHES or METRIC using your PC mouse, keyboard, or our optional Hand Held Remote Lathe Control.
  


• Machine materials such as wax, wood, plastic, aluminum, brass, copper, steel, and stainless steel, and much more.
  


• Can add computer control coolant, quick change wedge type tool post, and shield guard from our line of accessories to the CNC MASTERS 1340 Lathe.
  


• Easy user-friendly setup for any beginner or experienced machinist. Easy to learn and operate. See our testimonials.
  


• Backed up by our CNC MASTERS ONE YEAR WARRANTY or extend it for two more years.
