 PLG Series

2 Axis Gang Tool Lathes

CUBIC’s PLG Series Gang Tool Lathes runs on industry standard FANUC control to provide high speed 2-axis turning. Rugged boxway construction enables heavy duty cutting while the gang-tool layout provides an unparalleled platform to adapt the tools to your production goals.

Many Sizes to Choose From

The PLG models ranges from:
  • 1.65” (42mm), 2.05” (52mm), 2.95” (60mm) in bar capacity
  • 6”, 8”, 10” in chuck capacity.

The standard PLG-42 has 6” turning diameter and 9.05” x 11.81” X&Z travels.

PLG-42XL is the “Extra Long” model that has the same spindle and headstock as PLG-42 but features longer X&Z travels as PLG-52 and PLG-60.

PLG-52 and PLG-60 both have generous 12.60” x 22.05” X&Z travels.

PLG-60 has 44% larger spindle capacity at 60mm (2.95”) spindle bore.
