BGSLIVEN CU500M MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The BGSLIVEN CU500M is a manual universal lathe engineered for precision turning operations in small to medium-scale production environments. With a 500mm swing over bed and maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 250mm in diameter. The lathe features a robust 11kW motor delivering 14.75 horsepower, enabling consistent cutting performance across diverse materials. The 70mm spindle bore accommodates standard tooling, while the 3,000mm distance between centers allows extended workpiece lengths, making it suitable for shaft work and similar applications. The machine incorporates 21 spindle speed steps providing operational flexibility for various turning requirements. With 120 feeds and 64threading options including metric, inch, module, and DP ranges, the CU500M demonstrates comprehensive thread-cutting capability. The compact footprint of approximately 181.10 x 49.21 x 56.30 inches and 3.5-ton weight facilitates installation in space-constrained workshops. Featured equipment includes a 250mm Bison chuck, quick-change Amestra toolpost with four holders, digital readout on three axes, and full safety guarding. The cross slide travel of 315mm and top slide travel of 130mm enable precise depth-of-cut control. Manual operation provides operators with direct tactile feedback, enhancing job flexibility for prototype development and small-batch manufacturing. This configuration makes the CU500M ideal for tool rooms, maintenance facilities, and job shops requiring versatile, reliable turning capability.
