FT SERIES B O X W A Y L A T H E S FT-250 FT-350 FT-200 Massive Cast Iron Construction with Internal Reinforcements For Maximum Stability and Long Term Accuracy. FEELER uses only well-ribbed MEEHANITE cast iron, finite element analyzed main components including the base, saddle, headstock, slide and tail stock. The hardened and ground boxways have more than ten times the damping characteristics of conventional linear rails. ANSYS and Nastran finite element analysis and design ensure the base casting will resist torsion and vibration giving the FT series lathes maximum stability, accuracy and efficiency. FT-SERIES Features Heavy duty boxway X & Z axes Hydraulic parts catcher FANUC Oi-TD control Hydraulic quill movement Programmable servo tailstock Substantial reduction in cycle times Two year warranty Designed by Methods Designed with finite element analysis for increased rigidity The extra rigidity of the heavy duty turret results in higher metal removal rates, superb finishes, and ensures long term accuracy. The heavy casting, large diameter quill and precision Morse taper center provides outstanding rigidity. 3 Programmable tailstock (Standard) 4
