Overview
The 1640-PLC-2N AutoAssist Lathe is the first in its class, offering conversational programming that transforms traditional turning operations with simplicity and productivity.
For machining, this 16” x 40” lathe offers ample capacity for both small and medium-sized workpieces. It features a powerful 7kW servo motor directly driving the spindle, delivering smooth and efficient performance without the need for belts or gear reductions.
For productivity, it features the NEW Sharp AutoAssist touchscreen control. With Sharp AutoAssist, shops can increase manual machining productivity by up to 70%.
Features
Automatic or Manual Mode
AutoAssist gives machinists the flexibility to operate the lathe in manual or automatic mode and inch or metric measurements.
By using a touchscreen combined with a physical control panel, its designed to add value and enhanced functionality to conventional lathes.
8 Conversational Turning Applications
AutoAssist comes standard with eight conversational turning applications, allowing operators to produce parts faster with less programming effort.
- 0D Turning
- Face Turning
- Taper Turning
- Straight Threading
- Tapered Threading
- Chamfering & Corner Turning
- Grooving/Parting
- Drilling
Automatic Machining Parameter Filling
Built-in cutting conditions tailored for various materials allow the system to automatically generate optimal machining parameters based on the user’s selected material and part geometry.
Automatic Thread Cutting
One of the most difficult jobs on a manual machine is thread cutting. With Sharp AutoAssist, you simply select the thread you want, whether inch or metric, and the threading speed is 4 to 8 times faster than conventional threading. It can machine workpieces with an angle without the need to install a taper attachment.
Taper Turning Without Attachment
This machine is capable of taper turning without the need for a taper attachment, simplifying operation while maintaining high accuracy and eliminating additional equipment costs.
Built-in File Storage
Save programs after completion with auto-file, ideal for those high-mix, low volume environments. Program it once, save it, and recall jobs whenever you need to make another one-off or small part-run.
