Product Overview

The CD6251 Conventional Lathe Machine is a reliable manual metal turning machine designed for medium-duty machining, general production, repair, and maintenance applications. With a 510 mm swing over bed, 1500 mm center distance, 80 mm spindle bore, and 5.5 kW main drive motor, it provides a practical combination of workpiece capacity, rigidity, and machining flexibility.

The machine is built with a precision-ground lathe bed and a 300 mm wide bed structure to provide stable support during turning operations. Its 80 mm spindle bore, ISO-D8 spindle nose, and MT7 spindle taper provide a solid configuration for general metalworking applications.

This conventional lathe machine is suitable for external turning, internal turning, facing, boring, threading, grooving, and other manual machining operations. The CD6251 is particularly suitable for shafts, flanges, gears, bushings, sleeves, rollers, and general mechanical components.

• 510 mm Swing Over Bed: The large swing capacity provides sufficient clearance for medium-sized and relatively large cylindrical workpieces.
• 1500 mm Center Distance: The long center distance accommodates shafts, rollers, cylinders, and other elongated workpieces.
• 80 mm Spindle Bore: The large spindle bore allows suitable bars, shafts, pipes, and tubular workpieces to pass through the spindle.
• 300 mm Wide Bed: The wide machine bed provides stable support for the carriage and tailstock during turning operations.
• 12-Step Spindle Speed: The spindle speed range of 25–1700 rpm provides flexible speed selection for different materials, diameters, and cutting operations.
• 5.5 kW Main Drive Motor: The main motor provides the drive power required for general turning and machining applications.
• Wide Threading Capability: The machine supports metric, inch, module, and diametral thread ranges for different machining requirements.
• Manual Metal Turning: Direct operator control makes the machine suitable for repair workshops, maintenance departments, job shops, and general production.

• Precision-Ground Bedways: Precision-ground bedways provide stable carriage movement and support consistent turning performance.
• Rigid Cast Iron Bed: The cast iron bed provides a stable foundation for machining and helps absorb vibration during cutting.
• 80 mm Spindle Bore: The large spindle opening accommodates suitable bars, shafts, pipes, and tubular workpieces.
• ISO-D8 Spindle Nose: The ISO-D8 spindle nose provides a standard configuration for the machine’s spindle and workholding system.
• Wide Threading Range: Metric, inch, module, and diametral thread ranges provide flexibility for different machining requirements.
• Vertical Four-Station Tool Post: The listed machine configuration uses a vertical four-station tool post for convenient tool positioning.

The CD6251 electrical configuration should be confirmed according to the customer’s destination-country requirements. Voltage, frequency, main motor configuration, coolant pump configuration, and other electrical specifications should be confirmed before production.

Customers should provide their local power supply specification when requesting a quotation so that the machine can be configured correctly for installation and operation.

• Pre-Shipment Inspection: Machine operation, spindle rotation, feed movement, workholding components, and major mechanical functions are checked before shipment.
• Machining Verification: Trial turning and machine operation can be verified according to the agreed inspection requirements before delivery.
• Technical Support: ZCIT provides technical assistance, spare parts support, and online service after delivery.
