Since 1986, ProtoTRAK has brought an extraordinary level of productivity to small lot machining. When we tell you that TRAKing is the coolest thing ever made for tool room applications, you should believe that you owe it to yourself to get a live demo. The power of TRAKing is that you no longer have to choose between the efficiency of CNC and the security of manual control - TRAKing gives you both. With TRAKing, you don't have to go through the process of proving out the CNC program before you dare to press the Go button. You can run the CNC program at the speed at which you crank the handwheel. Go fast, go slow, stop and take a measurement, go backwards, whatever. You are in complete control as the machine moves the saddle and cross slide through the programmed coordinates.
TRAKing is an exclusive feature to ProtoTRAK. Anyone else who says they have it may not be lying, but they don't know what they are talking about.
Slam your productivity into high gear with TRAKing. Do yourself a favor and get a demo of this powerful feature.
Not available for the 1440EX.
The USB Thumb Drive option is a Delkin Devices 512MB thumb drive. It serves the following purposes:
The thumb drive comes correctly configured for ProtoTRAK EMX/EXL interface and includes a copy to the PTEX Offline Programming software for making part programs on a PC.

The optional work lamp is a 110 volt, 15 watt fluorescent light. The 18" light tube is mounted to the top of the splash shield just to the right of the spindle. The light is protected by a watertight polycarbonate tube that is sealed by an o-ring. A steel shield prevents damage from large flying objects and stainless steel armoring protects the electrical cable.
Available for current TRAK SX Lathes and as a retrofit for prior TRAK and Sport models 1440P and 1745P.
