AMCO C6246X1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The AMCO C6246X1000 Manual Lathe is a robust, precision-engineered machine designed for demanding turning applications in industrial environments. With a swing over bed of 18.11 inches (460 mm), it accommodates medium to large diameter workpieces such as shafts, flanges, and pulleys, while the distance between centers of 39.37 inches (1000 mm) supports the machining of long components like drive shafts, rods, and axles. The lathe features a solid one-piece cast iron base for maximum rigidity, vibration dampening, and long-term dimensional stability, ensuring consistent accuracy even during extended operations. Equipped with a powerful spindle motor (minimum 7.5 kW / 10 HP), the machine delivers ample torque for heavy cuts and hard materials, including soft metals, hardened steel, and non-ferrous alloys. The spindle speed range typically spans from 25 to 2000 RPM, adjustable via a multi-gear transmission system, allowing for optimal performance across a variety of materials and cutting tools. Feed rates are finely adjustable, supporting both longitudinal and cross feeds for high-quality surface finishes and efficient threading and facing operations. The lathe includes digital readouts for precise monitoring of spindle speed and feed rate, reducing operator error. Additional features include an adjustable tailstock and steady rests for supporting long workpieces, a high-quality lead screw and gearbox for accurate thread cutting, and thermal compensation to minimize heat-induced expansion. Designed for both batch production and one-off precision tasks, the C6246X1000 is a versatile, reliable solution for high-performance turning, meeting stringent quality standards in manufacturing environments.
