The FAS Lathe heralds an entirely new generation of production lathes.
It combines the user-friendliness of a CNC lathe with the fast cycle times of a Cam-automatic lathe,
all at an affordable price
Machine Tools
The  Lathe
- allows extremely fast change over times due to it's unique design features.
- achieves rapid cycle times because several tools can work simultaneously on the workpiece.
- makes lower demands on setting and operating personnel due to it's user-friendly design.
- is robust, reliable and elegant in construction yet manufactured to close tolerances to allow precision production of turned components.

Special Applications
|
Universal Cams |
Fitted at factory for life of machine. No other cams need be designed, made or fitted. |
Constant Feed-rate |
Feed rates are maintained irrespective of spindle speed. |
Infinitely Variable Spindle Speed |
Allows optimum spindle speed to be set quickly and accurately. |
Quick-retract Cross-Slides |
Allows collet removal without disturbing tooling. |
Constant Deadstop Operation |
Deadstops need not be readjusted with changes in size. |
Tool Overlapping |
Cross-slides are spaced at 70° allowing complete overlapping of all tools without fouling. |
Rigid Construction |
All cutting forces are contained within the heavily ribbed, box-section Headstock Casting. |
Stable Slide Geometry |
The Asymmetric Cross-Slide Geometry promotes stable, chatter-free forming. |
Tool Interchangeability |
All Cross-slides are identical allowing complete interchangeability of Cross-slide tooling. |
Pre-Forming |
All Cross-slides have generous lateral adjustment to permit forming behind the Parting Tool. |
Micro-Setting |
Micrometer adjust and hand clamp on 10-setting variables. |
Fingertip Setting |
No hand tools necessary for any of the following: Change of Spindle Speed. Adjustment of Collet. Timing of Cams. Timing of Accelerator cut off. |
Memory Setting |
Diametral, Lateral and Tool Height Parameters stored in Memory-setting Block attached to tail of toolbit. |
Ergonomic Setting |
All setting performed from front of machine. |
Shoulder Level control Panel |
Stop, Start and Inch Controls for both Spindle and Camshaft. Digital readout of Spindle Speed, Cycle Time and Number of Parts made. |
Synchronised Threading |
Components can be threaded by means of Synchronised Threading Attachment (STA): Fingertip Pitch and Length Setting, Threading sequence triggered by retract of drill slide. |
