Rigid CNC Slant Bed Lathe



FBL-200 with gantry-style loader for fully automated machining

10-station Servo Turret and Tailstock

Chevalier's FBL-200 is designed for high performance. The CNC machine, featuring a 45-degree, slant-bed, rigid box ways structure, is supported by ribbed Meehanite cast-iron, which provides support and damping absorption that helps to resist deflection and vibration during heavy machining. The FBL-200 is engineered for ease of access and trouble-free maintenance. Its compact design minimizes floor space for the large work envelope.

"With a magazine-fed bar feeder or a gantry-style loader, the FBL is a fully automated, single-set-up, part-processing machining system that is affordable and cost-effective," said a company spokesperson.

The FBL-200 slant-bed lathe features an 8" hydraulic chuck, optional tool pre-setter and 18.5" maximum swing diameter with 10.2" maximum turning diameter and a maximum turning length up to 16". The bar capacity is 2.5".

The lathe features an up to 20 HP AC digital spindle motor. The spindle bar capacity is 2.55" in diameter with speeds up to 3,500 RPM. The spindle has cylindrical roller bearings that provide strong cutting capability.

A 10-station indexing turret is designed for fast tool indexing.

A manual tailstock and programmable quill are standard, along with a chip conveyor that is built for efficient chip management.

The model comes with a FANUC 0i-TD control and digital servo drive and motor. This control provides several functions, including a rigid tap, multiple threads and a conversational Manual Guide 0i program.
