Knuth Precision Lathe Servoturn 410x1000

• feed and thread leads can be selected via rotary switch - what a brilliant concept
• stops can be set electronically with the press of a button
• feeds are infinitely variable between 50 and 100% via override potentiometer - finally available on a conventional lathe
• micro-control via electronic hand-wheels - but handling and postioning just as with a conventional machine
• axes are powered by high-quality servo drives that translate your hand movements with the precision and dynamics of modern CNC machines
• infinitely variable speed adjustment and constant cutting speed of headstock

The definition of a new standard for conventional lathes had to be perfect - therefore, we complemented the Servoturn with the following features:

Mineral-Casting Machine Frame

• mineral-casting reduces vibration 6 times faster than cast-iron (GG25) and up to 10 times faster than steel- this ensures excellent surface quality that could not be achieved with conventional machines
• excellent thermal stability
• modern manufacturing process with excellent energy footprint

Linear Profile Guide Rails

• maximum reliability and performance
• excellent rigidity, strength and accuracy is achieved by optimum load distribution, designed for accepting high loads and torques
• no stick-slip effect
• long life and minimum maintenance
• replaceable parts

Recirculating Ball Screw

• considerably less errors due to loseness (backlash), resulting in significantly higher precision
• significantly reduced friction
• no stick-slip effect
• reduced heat development
• less wear for even less maintenance requirements

3-axis position indicator

• more accuracy
• lower error rate
• increased productivity
• resulting in valuable time savings
• for increased productivity
• easy to read display
• operator-specific features
• convenient keyboard layout
• resolution: 0.01/ 0.005 mm
• default coordinates
• axis position is maintained when display is turned off
• storage for 10 tools
• radius / diameter toggle
• mm/inch conversion
• display for top (Z0) and box way slide (Z1) both separate and in differential / cumulative mode for lathes
