Product Overview
The LabTurn 2028 CNC is a compact, mobile CNC lathe designed for CNC training and small-series production. It reproduces the main functions of a full-size production lathe in a space-saving footprint. The 8-station tool turret provides four tools each for internal and external turning; a tailstock enables machining of longer parts. The main spindle runs up to 3,000 rpm and the hydraulic 3-jaw chuck measures Ø100 mm. The Siemens 808D Advance controller offers simple, intuitive operator guidance ideal for learning and entry-level CNC applications.
