The MAINLAND CA6240B/2000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for versatile precision machining operations. This horizontal gap-bed lathe accommodates workpieces up to 2,000mm in length, making it suitable for extended turning applications. With a maximum swing of 400mm (15.75 inches) over the bed and 8.27 inches over the cross slide, the machine handles substantial cylindrical components efficiently. The spindle bore diameter of 2.05 inches (approximately 52mm) facilitates through-spindle operations and accommodates various tooling configurations. Powered by a 7.5kW (10.06 HP) motor, the lathe delivers consistent performance across its 24-step spindle speed range, reaching up to 1,400 RPM for precision finishing work. The machine features a robust BT40 spindle taper and four tool post stations, enabling rapid tool changes for multi-operation setups. Its gap-bed design provides an effective gap length of 210mm, permitting enlarged workpiece diameters when needed. The CA6240B demonstrates versatile turning capability, handling internal and external cylindrical surfaces, conical profiles, threading (metric, inch, and modular), drilling, and reaming operations. Compatible with 220V, 380V, or 415V electrical configurations, this lathe processes steel, cast iron, and nonferrous metals with high dimensional accuracy up to IT7 precision levels. Equipped with a sensitive manual braking system, the lathe prioritizes operational control and safety for skilled machinists requiring reliable production performance.
