Spindle speed is set electronically through the onboard 15 in touchscreen controller. You can run the simplified TensileSoft specimen-prep interface for routine tensile bar machining, or switch into the full FANUC CNC environment when you want direct control of turning parameters.

The available spindle speed range on this system is 30 to 4000 rpm, which gives you flexibility to match common metals and engineered materials by adjusting the program to suit your cut.

For different materials, the “right” rpm within that range typically depends on the alloy or hardness, the starting bar diameter, the cutting tool grade and geometry, and the surface finish requirements for the reduced section. Coolant use and chip control can also influence the best setpoint for repeatable results.
