MFG Machinery 235LANCEN Series 8-Inch High-Efficiency Compact Turning Center

Automation-Ready, 18.5kW Spindle Power & 0.3μm Precision for High-Volume Production

Product Overview
The MFG Machinery 235LANCEN Series is a state-of-the-art, high-efficiency compact CNC turning center explicitly engineered to be the heart of your automated production line. Featuring a high-speed 8-inch chuck and an aggressive 18.5kW high-torque spindle, this series excels in both heavy material removal and ultra-precision finishing. What truly sets the 235LANCEN apart is its native readiness for robotic integration. Whether paired with overhead gantry systems or articulated robots, it effortlessly transforms into an autonomous, flexible manufacturing cell. Capable of reducing non-cutting time by 10% while delivering exceptional surface finishes, this machine is the ultimate solution for maximizing throughput and minimizing labor costs in modern machine shops.

Key Features & Advanced Engineering

• Seamless Automation Solutions: * Integrated & All-in-One Gantry Automation: Connect multiple LANCEN lathes with gantry robots for a streamlined, multi-process serial workflow. The optimized monoblock design ensures a small footprint and high structural rigidity, enabling low-labor, one-stop processing from raw blanks to finished parts with a rapid ROI.Articulated Robot Integration: Highly customizable to your workpiece requirements, allowing multiple machines to form a highly flexible automated production line that drastically reduces labor reliance.
• Aggressive Heavy-Duty Cutting: Powered by a massive 15/18.5kW spindle motor, the machine supports aggressive turning with up to a 4.5 mm depth of cut and a 516 cm³/min chip removal rate. It can execute heavy-duty cutting on a Φ62×66mm SM45C carbon steel workpiece in just 80.3 seconds.
• Top-Tier Machining Precision: Engineered to meet the strictest tolerances. When machining brass with diamond tools, it achieves an ultra-low surface roughness of 0.07 μm. Furthermore, it guarantees an exceptional roundness accuracy of 0.3 μm (complying with ISO 11562 M1 standards) for perfect shaft and disc geometric tolerances.
• Maximized Productivity: Equipped with 24 m/min rapid traverse rates on both the X and Z axes and a 12-station rapid indexing turret. The machine is strategically engineered to cut non-cutting (idle) time by 10%, significantly boosting overall daily throughput.
• Ergonomic & Smart Control Interface: Features a 10.4" color TFT LCD display mounted on a flexible control panel that rotates 0-90° to adapt to the operator's posture.
• Dual-Interface Data Management: Seamlessly manage NC programs, parameters, and tool data via a built-in USB port or a PCMCIA card slot. The PCMCIA card fully supports DNC operations for large-capacity, complex data transfers.
