The new FAT FCT 1000 slant bed CNC lathe has a heavy duty 60° inclined bed with 70° column. The swing over bed is 1000 mm with distance between centers of 1500, 2500, 3500 or 4500mm. The machine is equipped with a Siemens 840 D SL CNC system with Shopturn application for turning and milling. The machine can be equipped with different hydraulic power chucks, 12-position toolturret (VDI 60) with static or live tooling, hydraulic self-centering steady rest, C-axis, chip conveyor, etc..., bringing you a powerful production unit.

Compare the FCT 1000 machine - with its 60° inclined bed and 70° column - with a flat bed or other CNC lathes, the main FCT's advantages are:

1. Easy chip disposal from within work area to a chip conveyor,
2. Easy access of an operator to the workpiece. Thus handling and operating the chuck is as easy as never before,
3. Better cutting force distribution.
