The ZMMBG CU 730RD X 1500 is a precision universal lathe designed for versatile metal machining operations. This machine features a 730mm swing over bed capacity with a maximum distance between centers of 1500mm, accommodating medium to large workpieces. The headstock incorporates a hardened and precisely ground spindle with a 103mm bore and Metric 120 taper, capable of accepting various chuck types including 3-jaw self-centered and 4-jaw independent chucks via DIN 55027 nose. The spindle delivers 21 discrete speed ranges from 12.5 to 1,250 RPM, driven by an 11kW main motor with an oil-bath lubrication system for the induction-hardened gears. The carriage assembly includes a 390mm cross-slide travel and 130mm top-slide travel, providing precise tool positioning for complex operations. Threading capabilities encompass 64 different thread pitches, supporting metric threads from 0.5 to 120mm, inch threads from 1/4 to 60 TPI, and modular threads from 0.125 to 30 Module. Feed options include 120 selectable feeds with longitudinal ranges from 0.04 to 12mm/rev and cross-feeds from 0.02 to 6mm/rev. The tailstock features a No. 5 Morse taper quill with 90mm diameter, complemented by a rigidly ribbed bed casting that minimizes vibration during high-speed and heavy-duty machining operations. This machine is ideal for production work requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability.
