BGSLIVEN CU500MTRD MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The BGSLIVEN CU500MTRD manual lathe is a robust, high-precision engine lathe designed for mechanical machining of external and internal rotational surfaces, including metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch threading. It features a swing capacity of 19.7 inches over the bed and a maximum distance between centers of 78.7 inches, accommodating sizable workpieces. The spindle bore measures 4.0 inches, enabling machining of larger diameters through the spindle. Powered by a 14.4 HP motor, it provides reliable torque for heavy-duty turning operations. The spindle speed is set at 11.5 RPM, indicating variable speed control typical of this series, suitable for diverse machining needs. The swing over the cross slide is 11.8 inches, facilitating precise cutting on smaller diameters. This lathe’s physical dimensions are 141.7 inches in length, 49.2 inches in width, and 57.9 inches in height, with a substantial weight of approximately 7,160.5 lbs, ensuring stability during heavy machining tasks. It includes standard features such as 21 spindle speeds and 120 feed options, allowing fine adjustment of feed rates and thread cutting. The machine’s headstock spindle nose conforms to DIN 55027 standards (No 8), and the spindle taper is Metric 80, supporting a variety of tooling. The carriage and tailstock provide essential support for precise and repeatable machining operations, with the tailstock quill diameter accommodating Morse taper tooling. This lathe is suited for industrial machining applications requiring accuracy, versatility, and durability.
