CNC Lathe Trainer Stepper
Product Code : LSK-CTM-10779
CNC Lathe Trainer Stepper (SKU LSK-CTM-10779) is a computer-controlled lathe with stepper-motor axis drives, built for teaching CNC turning, part programming and machine setting. ITI trainees, polytechnic students and engineering undergraduates use it for real turning jobs at training scale. Vocational institutes, training centres, tender contractors and distributors can order this stepper lathe directly from Science Lab Supplies, whose dispatch base is Ambala, India.
Specifications
Each figure for the stepper-driven lathe trainer appears as its own row below. In brief, a flat or 45-degree slant bed and 100 mm chuck are paired with a 2 HP AC servo spindle running 100 to 4000 RPM through a VFD, stepper-driven X and Z axes, PLC-based control and an automatic 4- or 8-station turret.

Applications and Experiments for the CNC Lathe Trainer Stepper
The trainer teaches the full CNC turning cycle: writing and simulating a part program, setting tool offsets, holding the job in the chuck and machining it under program control. Its single-phase supply and small working envelope suit vocational workshops, polytechnic machine shops and engineering CAM labs.
- ITI machinist and turner trades: facing, step, taper and profile turning on CNC, after manual practice on a Center Lathe Machine.
- Diploma in mechanical or production engineering: CNC programming and operation.
- B.E./B.Tech CAD/CAM and machining labs: G-code writing and simulation before cutting, with cutting forces studied on a Lathe Tool dynamometer.
- Thread-cutting exercises checked with a Center Gauge.
Standard Scope of Supply
The trainer is supplied as a single machine with the bed, chuck, spindle, stepper-driven axes, automatic turret, tailstock, PLC-based control and the operating software described above. The C axis and any tooling you request are optional and listed separately on the quotation, item by item.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one machine or for a complete CNC workshop, and each quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Related TVET workshop equipment, such as a second lathe or tooling, can go on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. To price this stepper lathe for your turning section, describe the number of machines on the contact page, drop it into the enquiry cart alongside other items, or work through the lab tender page if you are bidding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What drives the axes on this lathe trainer?
Stepper motors with stepper drives move the X and Z axes on C3-class ball screws, while a 2 HP AC servo spindle is speed-controlled by a VFD from 100 to 4000 RPM.
Who supplies the CNC Lathe Trainer Stepper?
It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. One quotation can combine the trainer with other CNC turning or milling machines, whether the buyer is an institute, a contractor or a distributor.
Does it need a three-phase supply?
No. The specification lists 230 V single phase. Run the machine with guards in place and under an instructor, as it has a rotating chuck and an indexing turret.
