The CNC-TAKANG TK540/1500 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty conventional lathe engineered for precise and robust turning operations. It features a **21-inch swing over the bed** and a **60-inch distance between centers**, allowing it to handle large workpieces. The lathe’s spindle includes a **3.30-inch bore**, accommodating sizable tooling and bar stock. Powered by a **10 HP motor**, the spindle achieves speeds up to **1,545 RPM** across multiple gear steps, enabling versatile machining applications. The machine offers a **14-inch swing over the cross slide**, facilitating the use of various toolings and fixtures during cross-feeding operations. Constructed on a high-rigidity one-piece cast iron base, the lathe ensures stability and vibration damping for improved machining accuracy. The bed width is approximately 350 mm (13.78 inches), with a cross-slide travel around 305 mm (12 inches) and compound rest travel near 150 mm (5.9 inches), enabling fine control of the cutting tool. Additional features include a robust gearbox with multi-speed capability, thread cutting options across metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch ranges, as well as a hydraulically controlled tailstock quill providing precise and powerful workpiece support. The spindle nose conforms to D1-8 or A2-11 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard chucks and fixtures. The lathe undergoes dynamic balance testing and multi-axis laser inspection to guarantee precision and reliability in heavy-duty machining environments.
