DescriptionOur Forceturn series provides a flat-bed CNC lathe solution for machining large, heavy workpieces up to 5,000 mm in length. The robust flat-bed design and oversized hardened, ground guides deliver high rigidity and precision for heavy-duty turning operations. The user-friendly Fagor control supports teach-in and cycle programming; two electronic handwheels enable manual-style positioning and fast setup. A range of options allows configuration for maintenance departments, single-part production or small batch runs.
