Flexible Manufacturing System
Product Code : LSK-CTM-10785
Flexible Manufacturing System (SKU LSK-CTM-10785) is a CNC training system for teaching how automated, PLC-controlled machining works in a flexible manufacturing environment. Its listed machining unit is a servo-driven slant-bed CNC lathe with a hydraulic chuck and an automatic 8-station turret. Engineering colleges, polytechnics and TVET automation centres use it for manufacturing automation courses. Science Lab Supplies quotes the system from Ambala, India, for colleges, automation-lab contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The FMS machining unit is described in the table one parameter per row. In short, PLC-based control with PC operating software drives servo motors on a 45-degree slant bed with a 125 mm hydraulic chuck, while a 2 HP AC servo spindle runs 100 to 3000 RPM through a VFD with automatic coolant and lubrication.

Applications and Experiments for the Flexible Manufacturing System
The system is used to show how a CNC machine is run automatically by a PLC: the hydraulic chuck, turret and coolant respond to control signals, so students see machining as one step in an automated sequence. It supports manufacturing automation, mechatronics and CNC programming practicals.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical, production and mechatronics labs: FMS and automated machining concepts.
- Diploma in mechatronics or production engineering: PLC-controlled machining sequences, with the underlying control logic first built on a Versatile 6-in-1 Logic Gate Apparatus.
- ITI mechatronics and advanced machine tool trades: automatic chucking and tool indexing.
- TVET automation modules: linking CNC machines with robots, PLC trainers and pneumatic actuators such as the Industrial Pneumatics Training Equipment.
Standard Scope of Supply
The system is supplied as described in the specification: the PLC-controlled, servo-driven CNC turning unit with hydraulic chuck, 8-station turret, operating software and automatic coolant and lubrication. Any further cell elements, such as a robot or material-handling units, are listed separately on the quotation if you ask for them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for a single system or for a complete automation lab. Each quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity, and robots, PLC trainers or other vocational training equipment can be added to it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Describe the cell you have in mind, with any robot or PLC trainers, through the contact page; the enquiry cart gathers the items into one request, and the lab tender page covers tendered automation labs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What machine does this system use?
The listed specification is a servo-driven CNC lathe with a 45-degree slant bed, 125 mm hydraulic chuck, 2 HP spindle and automatic 8-station turret under PLC-based control.
Which elements of a full FMS cell are included?
The specification covers the CNC turning unit and its control. Tell us which other cell elements you need, such as a robot or PLC trainer, and they will be itemised on the quotation.
Who supplies the Flexible Manufacturing System?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the system from Ambala, India, and can combine it with robotics, PLC and pneumatic trainers on one quotation for colleges, TVET centres and contractors.
What precautions apply during automatic cycles?
The chuck and turret move under program control, so keep guards closed, stay clear of moving parts and run cycles only under instructor supervision.
