Accurate, economical lathes targeted toward the job shop market.

SMTCL has introduced a new line of lathes called VivaTurn, which will bring high performance and high productivity to job shops. These lathes were designed by SMTCL’s Schiess-Tech design center in cooperation with designers in Shanghai, China.

“This was the first collaborative effort where we have combined the technical knowledge of our German engineers with the vast experience and large installed base of our colleagues in Shanghai,” said Marcus Otto, Managing Director of Schiess-Tech in Germany.

The result is a family of highly reliable slant bed CNC Lathes that are highly accurate and priced competitively. The lathes are available in simple 2-axis configuration or with live milling. Sub-Spindle and Y Axis models will be released in the near future.

The VivaTurn 2Sm has 22” swing over the bed, a 10” hydraulic chuck, 3.1” spindle bore, and a 12-position live tool turret. The VivaTurn 4Cm has 28” of swing over the bed, a 10” hydraulic chuck, 3.1” spindle bore, and a 12-position power tool turret. All VivaTurn lathes come standard with NSK Bearings, a hydraulic tailstock, and chip conveyor.
