CT5 4-Axis Universal Turning Center | DRC High-Precision Intelligent Machining Core Equipment

In the field of precision mechanical machining, efficient, high-precision, and high-rigidity processing equipment is the core competitiveness for enterprises to improve production capacity and product quality. The CT5 4-Axis Universal Turning Center launched by DRC combines core technologies such as the FANUC 0i-TF PLUS CNC system, tilted Y-axis design, 12-station BMT55 servo turret, and built-in sub-spindle. It is specially designed for the integrated high-precision turning, milling, drilling, and tapping of complex components, widely adapting to the mass production needs of industries such as automotive parts, aerospace accessories, precision instruments, and electronic components.

I. Core Technical Highlights: Redefining Precision Machining Efficiency

1. Top-Tier CNC System: Dual Guarantee of Operation and Precision

The CT5 is equipped with the FANUC 0i-TF PLUS CNC system as standard, featuring a 10.4-inch high-definition display and MGi function. It supports dual input systems (metric/imperial) with an input precision of 0.001mm. The system has a built-in 250 sets of tool data storage, 5000-step standard PLC program (expandable to 24000 steps), and is equipped with 2GB external storage and dual interfaces (USB 2.0 + Ethernet) for fast program transmission and batch processing management. With a minimum block cycle time of 1.5ms, combined with G40/G41/G42 cutting radius compensation, lead screw pitch compensation, and backlash compensation functions, it ensures the accuracy and fluency of complex contour machining.

2. 4-Axis Linkage + Tilted Y-Axis: Expanding Machining Boundaries

As the core advantage of the 4-axis universal turning center, the CT5 supports X/Y/Z/C 4-axis linkage. The tilted Y-axis has a stroke of ±45mm, paired with the C-axis's 100rpm speed and 110Nm torque, enabling multi-dimensional machining such as complex spatial surfaces, inclined grooves, and taper threads. The generous strokes of 185mm (X-axis) and 550mm (Z-axis), combined with the rapid traverse speeds of 24/12/24m/min (X/Y/Z), significantly reduce non-machining time and improve overall production efficiency.

3. High-Rigidity Structure + High-Dynamic Spindle: Stable Output of Strong Power

The machine bed adopts a high-quality cast iron 45° slant design, featuring excellent thermal stability and torsion resistance. All axes are equipped with linear guideways and preloaded recirculating ball screws. The four-guideway structure ensures collision-free movement of the tailstock, and the Z-axis guideway protective cover extends the service life of the equipment. The main spindle (model A2-6) is equipped with a 17.2kW high-power drive, outputting a maximum torque of 110Nm and a maximum speed of 4500rpm. Combined with a 74mm spindle bore diameter and 51mm maximum bar capacity, it easily handles high-intensity cutting requirements. The built-in sub-spindle (model A2-5) adopts an electric drive with a power of 11kW and a maximum speed of 5000rpm. Its 490mm long stroke design supports continuous machining of both ends of the workpiece, reducing clamping times and positioning errors.

4. 12-Station BMT55 Turret: Efficient Tool Change and Multi-Functional Machining

The standard 12-station servo turret BMT55 supports linkage of 12 driven tool stations, compatible with tool shank diameters of □25mm and Ø40mm. The 30° indexing positioning time is only 0.35 seconds (with locking) / 0.12 seconds (without locking), ensuring efficient and precise tool changes. The turret supports the BMT55 standard interface and can be adapted to 0°/90° driven tool holders (optional), realizing integrated machining such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and grooving. Combined with the system's rich cycle functions (roughing, finishing, threading, deep hole drilling cycles, etc.), it meets diverse machining needs.
