Overview CJ 18D & 22D Direct Drive Teach Lathe
Kingston’s CJ-18D and CJ-22D exchange the gearbox for a faster, more accurate direct drive system — perfect for live tooling. Now shipping with the intuitive new Kingston App, it is easier than ever before to reduce cycle times and increase repeatability using CNC technology. These models feature direct drive, 18″ or 22” swing, lengths of 25″ and 50″ (and 40” –120)”, and are equipped with the user-friendly Fanuc 0iTF Plus controller with handwheels for a convenient teach-in operating experience. Ideal for a machine shop requiring Live Tooling, those transitioning to CNC, and for technical schools that train machinists, the CJ and its intuitive programming language are a perfect bridge between manual skills and actual CNC programming.
