This Seiger SLZ 500 is a cycle-controlled lathe — sometimes referred to as a CNC turning machine — designed for precision metal turning operations. Lathes of this type are used to shape, face, bore, and thread cylindrical workpieces, and cycle-controlled machines in particular allow operators to program and repeat turning cycles without full CNC programming, making them well suited to small-batch and jobbing workshop environments.
The machine is equipped with a Heidenhain Manual Plus control system, a widely respected cycle-controlled unit that guides operators through conversational programming and automates common turning operations while remaining accessible to conventionally trained machinists. The spindle is driven by a 16 kW motor and covers a speed range of 1 to 2,500 rpm, giving the machine flexibility across a broad range of materials and cutting conditions. Total power demand for the machine is 22 kW.
In terms of cutting capacity, the lathe offers a swing diameter of 500 mm and a turning length of 1,500 mm, making it capable of handling medium to large workpieces. The tailstock is fitted with a Morse taper 5 quill, with a quill diameter of 70 mm and a quill travel of 160 mm, providing solid support for longer workpieces and accommodating a wide range of live centres and tooling.
The machine comes with a Multifix quick-change tool post with various holders, a three-jaw chuck with a selection of jaw sets, and a splash guard door. It weighs approximately 3.2 tonnes and has a footprint of roughly 3.2 × 1.8 metres with a height of 1.4 metres. Built in 1999 and located in Germany, the machine is described as available for immediate delivery.
