AMCO C6246ZX MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The AMCO C6246ZX is a conventional horizontal manual lathe designed for general-purpose machining operations. This medium-duty machine features a swing over bed of 460mm (18.11 inches) and extended centers of approximately 2000mm (78.74 inches), accommodating workpieces up to 2000mm in length. The swing over cross slide measures 270mm (10.75 inches), while the swing in gap diameter reaches 690mm (27.125 inches), enabling larger diameter workpieces to be machined in the gap section. The lathe is equipped with an 80mm spindle bore featuring an MT7 taper, providing high rigidity and accuracy with minimal vibration during heavy cuts. The spindle offers 12 speed steps ranging from 42-1800 rpm, delivering versatility across various machining applications. The machine features precision-ground bedways with supersonic frequency hardening for extended service life and low operational noise. Powered by a 5.5kW (7.5 HP) main motor, the C6246ZX delivers 15 N·m of cutting torque. Threading capabilities include metric (0.5-20mm), Whitworth, D.P., and module ranges, with the ability to cut approximately 200 thread varieties without requiring change gears. The machine accommodates tool shanks up to 25x25mm and features rapid moving system feeds with longitudinal feeds ranging from 0.04-2.46mm per revolution. Weighing between 2250-2650kg with overall dimensions of 2310-2810mm × 1100mm × 1255mm, this lathe represents a robust solution for precision turning operations.
