1. Premium CNS FANUC 0i-TF PLUS: intelligent processing control

Turning equipment DRC CT5 standard equipped with legendary CNS FANUC 0i-TF PLUS - a leader in the market of control systems for CNC machines. The 10.4" high-quality MGi display provides easy access to all parameters, while support for metric and inch input systems (0.001mm accuracy) adapts the equipment to any production requirement. The system includes onboard storage for 250 tool data sets, 5,000-step PLC program (expandable to 24,000 steps), and 2GB external storage with USB 2.0 and Ethernet interfaces—allowing for rapid program transfer and batch control. Thanks to the minimum block cycle time (1.5 ms) and compensation functions (cutting radius G40/G41/G42, screw pitch, backlash), the DRC CT5 guarantees precision machining of complex contours even at high speeds.

2. 4-axis binding + inclined Y-axis: limitless processing possibilities

IV. Applications and benefits of the DRC CT5 turning equipment

Main advantage universal turning center DRC CT5 - support for 4-axis X/Y/Z/C linkage, enhanced inclined Y axis with a stroke of ±45 mm. This opens up possibilities for multi-dimensional processing: complex spatial surfaces, inclined grooves, tapered and multi-pass threads. Wide axis strokes (X - 185 mm, Z - 550 mm) and high rapid traverse speeds (24/12/24 m/min for X/Y/Z) significantly reduce non-machining time, increasing overall productivity by 30% compared to competitors. The C-axis with a speed of 100 rpm and a torque of 110 Nm provides precise workpiece positioning for complex operations.

3. High-strength construction and highly dynamic spindles: stable under load

bed turning center DRC CT5 Made of high-quality cast iron with a 45° slope - this ensures excellent thermal stability, resistance to torsion and vibration, even during long-term intensive work. All axes feature linear guides and pre-tensioned recirculating ball screws, and the four-way design prevents collisions when moving the shank. Main spindle A2-6 with a powerful 17.2 kW drive, it develops a maximum torque of 110 Nm and a speed of 4500 rpm, easily coping with the processing of high-hardness materials. Built-in auxiliary spindle A2-5 (power 11 kW, speed 5000 rpm, stroke 490 mm) allows continuous machining of both ends of a part in one clamp, reducing positioning errors and production time.

4. BMT55 12-position turret: efficient tool change and versatility

Turning equipment DRC CT5 equipped with standard 12-position servo-revolver BMT55 - a universal solution for integrated processing. The turret supports 12 driven tool positions, is compatible with □25mm and Ø40mm tool holders, and the positioning time at 30° indexing is only 0.35 seconds (with locking) or 0.12 seconds (without locking). Thanks to the standard BMT55 interface, it is possible to connect 0°/90° drive holders (optional), allowing you to perform turning, milling, drilling, tapping and grooving in a single cycle. A wide range of cyclic functions (margining, finishing, deep drilling, thread processing) makes the DRC CT5 universal for solving any production tasks.
