The newly redesigned Lab-Volt Automation 5300 CNC Lathe is a mid-sized turning system that provides complete, safe, and affordable training in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-numerical controlled (CNC) turning. The Lab-Volt curriculum gives students experience with industry standard Windows software and high-precision equipment designed to prepare them for jobs in manufacturing.

The 5300 CNC Lathe is a slant-bed lathe, and each axis on the lathe is driven by its own DC stepper motor. The DC variable speed spindle motor provides 1/3-HP of torque at its maximum speed. The spindle motor is programmable from 0 to 2800 RPM chuck speed. The included windows-based CNC programming software uses today's industry standard G- and M-codes and a user-friendly "conversational mode" programming language. The software features Tool Path Emulation and CAD/CAM design, which allow the programmer to make a drawing of a part, set up the tool paths and cut steps, create the part program, and simulate tool motion on a monitor so students can check the finished part prior to the actual cutting.
