What is a cycle-controlled lathe?
A cycle-controlled lathe is a machine tool that combines elements of a conventional lathe with CNC technology. The operator enters machining steps as clear cycles (e.g., facing, turning, thread cutting) into a user-friendly control system instead of programming each step manually or using G-code. The machine then executes these cycles automatically. It is particularly suitable for individual parts and small series because it can be set up quickly and still works precisely and is partially automated.
Areas of application for cycle-controlled lathes
Cycle-controlled lathes are primarily used for:
- Single-part production and small to medium series, e.g., in workshops, repair shops, or in mechanical engineering.
- Prototype production, because the machines are quick to set up and easy to program.
- Machining complex contours where conventional turning would be too costly, but a full-fledged CNC machine would not be necessary.
- Training and craft businesses, as they offer a good balance between manual operation and automation.
In short: they are used wherever flexibility, quick setup, and precision are required.
Comprehensive Service for Cycle-Controlled Lathes
With us, you can purchase used cycle-controlled lathes with a comprehensive service package. We provide detailed consultation for your purchase and supply all technical information about the machines offered, enabling you to choose the model that best suits your application. Cycle-controlled lathes are installed as stationary units. Once you've selected a machine, it must be dismantled and transported to its new location in your company. You don’t have to worry about a thing—we handle all formalities related to the purchase. Our team professionally dismantles the machines, organizes transportation, and reassembles them at your site.
Extensive Features Thanks to Individual Programming
Cycle-controlled lathes can be operated directly on the machine—no PC connection is required. When used as part of a machine system, cycle-controlled lathes can be integrated with other equipment and controlled via computer. This greatly expands the range of applications. Modern cycle-controlled lathes can even read drawings created according to CAD specifications. Workpieces are then automatically manufactured based on these drawings.
