Precision Manufacturing: Mechanical Design for Exceptional Stability

The SZGH-36J 2-Axis CNC Lathe is constructed from heavy-duty, deformation-resistant, high-strength cast iron and features a 30° slant-bed structure. This design effectively absorbs cutting forces, minimizes vibration, and improves chip evacuation—key factors in maintaining stable CNC lathe machining performance during long, continuous production cycles.

The machine frame is precision-milled and dynamically balanced to ensure structural stability even under demanding cutting conditions. This allows the SZGH-36J to maintain tight tolerances across batches, which is essential for manufacturers producing high-precision components.

The spindle is driven by a 4 kW variable-frequency servo motor, delivering rapid acceleration, stable torque, and smooth speed transitions. Supported by high-precision angular contact bearings, the spindle achieves excellent rotational accuracy and surface finishes of Ra ≤ 1.6 μm, making this 2-Axis CNC Lathe ideal for industries such as electronics, medical devices, and precision hardware.

Optimized Axis System for High-Efficiency CNC Lathe Machining

The X and Z axes of the SZGH-36J 2-Axis CNC Lathe utilize 25 mm precision ball screws paired with high-rigidity linear guideways. This configuration ensures backlash-free motion, high repeatability, and long-term positioning accuracy—core requirements for reliable CNC lathe machining.

X-axis travel: 600 mm

Z-axis travel: 230 mm

Rapid feed rate: Up to 30 m/min

These specifications enable the 2-Axis CNC Lathe to efficiently machine a wide variety of parts, from prototyping to medium- and high-volume production.

To further enhance machining stability, the machine incorporates an optimized thermal management design, including heat-dissipating castings and thermally stable guideways. This prevents thermal drift and ensures consistent accuracy during extended machining operations—an essential factor for sustainable Automation Lathes production.

Advanced CNC System Enabling Intelligent Automation Lathes

The SZGH-36J features a CNC system independently developed by SZGH and proven through years of industrial application. The controller provides high-speed interpolation, precise servo synchronization, and adaptive feed control, ensuring smooth execution of complex programs while maintaining accuracy and surface quality in CNC lathe machining.

Operators benefit from:

Intuitive graphical user interface

Fast and easy programming

Real-time machine monitoring

RS232 and Ethernet communication support

These features allow the SZGH-36J 2-Axis CNC Lathe to integrate seamlessly into smart factories and digitally connected production lines, supporting Industry 4.0 framework and advanced Automation Lathes workflows.

A handheld controller and modular I/O panel further enhance setup efficiency, simplifying manual alignment, tool setting, and part inspection—especially valuable for small-batch and mixed-production environments.
