CNC Lathes
Five groups, forty-eight machines. Flat-bed and slant-bed horizontals, Y-axis turn-mill centres, large through-bore pipe threading lathes, and single- and double-column verticals.
-
Horizontal CNC Lathes
17 models
Flat-bed machines with hardened and ground ways, from a 500 mm chuck job up to 2 m swing. Large spindle bores for bar and tube work.
-
Slant-Bed CNC Lathes
9 models
30° and 45° one-piece slant beds with 8- or 12-station servo turrets, hydraulic tailstock and imported linear guideways.
-
Y-Axis Turn-Mill Centres
5 models
A BMT power turret and a C-axis on the slant bed, so turning, milling, drilling and rigid tapping finish in one clamping.
-
CNC Pipe Threading Lathes
5 models
Large through-bores and twin chucks for drill pipe, couplings and casing. Guideway width from 550 mm to 755 mm.
-
CNC Vertical Lathes
12 models
Single and double column vertical turret lathes, tables from 1 m to 8 m. Twin-lift cross rail, and a BT50 magazine on the turning-centre variants.
Choosing A Lathe
Bed Type Follows The Part
Sixty models is a lot to read through. Send the part instead: the largest diameter, the length, the material and the tolerance, and we will name the two or three that fit and say why.
-
Flat bed for weight
A wide flat bed carries heavy, long work and damps the cut. It is the right choice for shafts, rolls and anything needing a steady rest, and it is easier to load with a crane.
-
Slant bed for chips and speed
Chips fall into the conveyor instead of piling on the ways, and the turret sits closer to the spindle centreline. Best for repeat production of medium parts.
-
Vertical for diameter
Once the part is heavier than it is long, gravity works with you rather than against you. Flanges, rings, wheels and gearbox cases belong on a table, not between centres.
-
Y-axis when it saves a setup
A power turret and a C-axis pay for themselves the moment the part would otherwise move to a machining centre for a keyway, a flat or a cross hole.
Every model page carries the specification we hold on file. Foundation drawings and ISO 230-2 acceptance figures come with the quotation.

CNC Lathes Questions, Answered
Which CNC lathe group should a first-time CNC buyer start with?
Match the group to the work rather than the ambition. Chuck and shaft work up to 2 m swing sits on the flat-bed horizontals; repeat production of medium parts suits the slant beds with servo turrets; flanges and rings go vertical; oilfield tubulars need the pipe threading machines; and parts that also need milled features justify a Y-axis turn-mill. Send the part and we will name the group first, then the model.
What CNC controls are fitted across these lathes?
Catalogued controls include Siemens and GSK packages depending on the model — the HT65, for example, carries a Siemens 828D. Whichever machine you choose, the control brand, model and option pack are named in the contract, because a control can be the right brand and still lack the functions a given part needs.
How many tool stations do the servo turrets carry?
The slant-bed machines run 8- or 12-station servo turrets, and the flat-bed HT65 carries a horizontal 12-station post taking 32 × 25 mm OD tools and boring bars to Φ60 mm. Count the tools in your longest part programme before choosing — a turret that forces mid-cycle tool swaps costs more time than it saved in price.
CNC or conventional — when does the CNC pay for itself?
Once a part needs several operations in sequence, repeatability across a batch, or threads and tapers that a template would otherwise control, the CNC wins on floor-to-floor time and scrap rate. For one-offs, repairs and training, the conventional machines on the same castings remain the cheaper, simpler answer — that is why both lines exist here.
