FAS Synchroturn

The Synchroturn is a 6-Axis Multi-slide CNC Lathe

It is typically 3 times as fast as conventional CNC lathes because as many as four tools can work simultaneously on the workpiece.

       It incorporates the following features:
  • 8-station Turret moves in 2 axes
  • Independent Turning Slide moves in 2 axes
  • Independent Forming Slide
  • Independent Parting Slide
  • 1 Second Chucking Time
  • 0.5 Second Turret Indexing Time
  • Parts Catcher standard equipment
  • Swarf Conveyor standard equipment
  • Multi-processing Controller with Touch Screen and User Friendly Interface
  • Available in 42 mm and 60 mm Spindle sizes


The Synchroturn is a drop-in replacement for a cam automatic lathe and produces quicker cycle times. It is also far more versatile and user-friendly. 
Both Chucking and Turret Indexing are achieved electromechanically resulting in minimum non-productive times. This also eliminates the need for pneumatics and hydraulics.

Work Area showing 8-station Turret, Parting Slide, Forming Slide & Turning Slide:

The Synchroturn Lathe uses a Galtec multi-processing controller which allows four programs to execute simultaneously so that four tools can move concurrently on different tool paths.
The programs use the industry standard G – Codes and both programming and machine operation are designed to be extremely user-friendly.
