D6000

Highlights

  • CNC lead screw lathe for precision metalworking
  • Conventional and CNC operation in one machine
  • nccad BASIC CNC controller with 2D turning software
  • Extremely quiet operation through electronically controlled drive technology
  • Precision cast iron machine bed with hardened and ground guideways
  • Suitable for workshops, industry, education and training environments

Machine Description

The CC-D6000 Basic is a CNC-capable lead screw lathe equipped with the nccad BASIC controller and 2D turning software. The machine supports simultaneous movement of two axes through interpolation, allowing accurate CNC turning operations. The system requires an external PC for program creation, administration and data storage. CNC programs can be created independently on multiple PCs and then transferred to the machine as required. A key advantage of the CC-D6000 Basic is its ability to operate both conventionally and under CNC control, providing flexibility for training, prototyping and production environments. Please note that thread cutting is only available during conventional operation and is not supported in CNC mode.

Machine Construction

Prismatic Cast Iron Bed The machine bed is manufactured from diagonally ribbed grey cast iron and features inductively hardened and precision-ground guideways for maximum rigidity and long-term accuracy. Headstock

Safety Information

When operated in CNC mode, the machine should be installed within a suitable machine safety enclosure to comply with industrial safety requirements. Users should always ensure compliance with applicable local safety regulations.

CNC Control System

nccad BASIC Controller The nccad BASIC control system provides CNC turning functionality with 2D programming capability and simultaneous movement of two axes through interpolation. Programs are created and managed externally on a PC, allowing convenient program development, storage and archiving. Multiple PCs can be used independently to prepare CNC programs for the machine.

Standard Equipment

  • 3-jaw chuck Ø125 mm
  • Live centre MT2
  • Main spindle bore Ø20 mm
  • nccad BASIC CNC controller
  • Mechanical limit switches on X and Z axes

Applications & Performance

The CC-D6000 Basic is suitable for workshops, manufacturing environments, educational institutions and technical training centres requiring a versatile turning solution. Its combination of conventional operation, CNC functionality and precision construction makes it ideal for training, prototyping, small-batch production and precision metalworking applications. The machine can also be converted from a manual WABECO lathe to a CNC-controlled system, providing a flexible upgrade path for existing equipment.
