CLARK MACHINE TOOL CWQ 140/2000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The CLARK MACHINE TOOL CWQ 140/2000 is a manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations and general machining applications. This machine features a substantial swing of 55.12 inches over the bed, allowing for the machining of large-diameter workpieces. With a center distance of 78.74 inches, the lathe accommodates extended workpieces and provides flexibility for various production requirements. The 30-horsepower motor delivers adequate cutting power for demanding turning operations, enabling efficient material removal across a wide range of metals and alloys. The CWQ 140/2000 designation indicates a machine tool built to robust specifications, constructed with a solid cast iron base and hardened bedways to ensure precision and repeatability during extended production runs. The manual operation of this lathe requires skilled operator input for feed rate control, spindle speed selection, and tool positioning, making it suitable for job shops, tool rooms, and general manufacturing facilities where versatility and operator control are prioritized. This machine tool represents mid-range industrial lathe technology, balancing power delivery with operational precision. The combination of swing capacity and center distance makes it practical for turning long shafts, hollow components, and cylindrical parts across multiple industries. Built with traditional mechanical systems rather than CNC automation, the CWQ 140/2000 offers reliability, ease of maintenance, and straightforward operation. This lathe remains valuable in manufacturing environments where manual control and proven mechanical design are preferred over fully automated systems.
