• 1 HP DC Permanent Magnet Motor
• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controller

The definitive midi-lathe, Laguna’s REVO 12|16 encapsulates the prestige of Laguna in a small package. Featuring a Pulse Width Modulation system motor to maintain consistent torque at any speed, one step cam-action belt change with magnetic door housing, and a luxury banjo w/45º chamfered edge.

The 1216 controls the 1hp DC motor using pulse width modulation. A big problem with DC motor control is torque in the low speeds, and you will find many MIDI lathes with the lowest speed of 250RPM and higher because of this. This is because the cost effect controllers introduce resistance into the voltage to limit the power, which reduces the speed but also reduces the torque at the same rate. PWM will deliver full torque across the entire speed range. This allows for tremendous torque in low speeds which is helpful when roughing and precision work. This also allows for outboard turning up to a 16” bowl on a mid-sized lathe.

REVOLUTIONARY NEW CONTROL PRODUCES SUPERIOR TORQUE

Pulse Width Modulation efficiently delivers more torque at low- to mid-range speeds, minimizing RPM loss. PWM delivers power to a DC motor through a succession of voltage pulses rather than adjusting voltage or current. PWM vastly improves efficiency at low- to mid-range speeds and substantially decreases the loss of torque under load

HOW DOES PULSE WIDTH MODULATION DIFFER FROM STANDARD CONTROLLERS?

Typically a controller limits voltage or current to adjust the speed. This limitation results in less torque being available especially at low to mid-range speeds. The voltage not being used is converted to heat that can damage electrical components after prolonged use
