REQUEST MORE INFO

This is a horizontal Litton automated glass lathe in very good clean condition.  This is being sold as an automated glass lathe which means the carriage and tailstock can be programmed to move with servo controllers and motors.  This lathe was originally part of a MCVD preform system that also included a gas distribution cabinet, but the gas cabinet has been separated from this offer.   System could be used for making fiber preforms using the MCVD process or for general glass blowing that requires automated carriage and tailsock.   

Unit was powered up and most of the lathe functions were tested as can be seen in the video.  Spindle speed is easily adjusted with the ten-turn pot on the control panel.  Tailstock can be moved manually with the crank wheel or automatically with the control system.   The Litton controllers can be used directly by starting and stopping functions on their touch screen panel or some functions are integrated into the control panel push-buttons and speed pots.  The tailstock can be set to traverse back and forth with the Litton controller or it can be set to “stretch” in just one direction using the tailstock selector switch on the control panel.  The carriage is operated in a similar manner where the traversing can be controlled with either the Litton controller or with the control panel push-buttons and pots.
