I have a line on a Daewoo Puma 6 cnc lathe that is cheap and not too far away from me. I don't have alot of info on it which is why I am asking you guys. Ad says it runs and has Fanuc 6a control. It has a chip conveyor. My only cnc right now is a cnc router with a Fanuc OM on it, so at the moment I am not scared off due to the control. It looks like it at least has a crt and displays more than one line at a time.
I haven't been able to turn up much online about this model with the 6 control which I assume puts it at 1980's vintage.
What is the work size? I saw one ad that indicates it might be a 6" dia machine?
Any idea as to how heavy it might be?
What are the limitations of the 6 control? Will it have a rs232 port? I have never programmed a cnc lathe, so I don't know the canned cycles and such that may be useful and on newer or better machines. I was a parts changer on a few lathes for awhile, so I understand the machines, just don't know what I don't know on the programming side.
What I have in mind to do with it would be to turn parts with a few diameters to hit with an external threaded portion on one end, or another would be similar but with an internal thread. Also would like to do parts that have a curved profile on part of it. I assume the 6 can do threading and curved profiles up to it's memory limit?
It would be in house work so wouldn't need to be competitive in a job shop sense, just want to make parts easier than on my manual machines.
I got a tiny picture from the seller, enough to tell it has a 3 jaw chuck on it and it has a turret.
Thanks for any help on this,
Jason
