Structural Features & Machining Functions

  • Rigid Cast Iron Construction:
    The robust machine structure provides stable support for medium and heavy-duty manual turning operations.
  • Hardened and Precision-Ground Bedways:
    Supersonic frequency-hardened and precision-ground bedways provide improved wear resistance and smooth carriage movement.
  • Precision-Ground Gears:
    Precisely ground gears help reduce operating noise and support smooth spindle transmission.
  • 460 mm Swing Over Bed:
    The 460 mm swing capacity provides practical machining space for medium-sized cylindrical workpieces.
  • 58 mm Spindle Bore:
    The large spindle bore allows the machine to accommodate shafts, bars and other workpieces requiring greater spindle capacity.
  • 1500 mm Center Distance:
    The 1500 mm distance between centers provides useful capacity for longer workpieces and shafts.
  • 12-Speed Spindle:
    The spindle provides 12 speed steps from 25 to 2000 rpm for different machining conditions.
  • Four-Station Tool Post:
    The vertical four-station tool post provides convenient tool positioning for general turning operations.
