CLARK MACHINE TOOL CWQ 160/2000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The CLARK MACHINE TOOL CWQ 160/2000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations on large workpieces. With a swing of 63.0 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates substantial diameters, making it suitable for industrial production environments requiring significant machining capacity. The 78.7-inch center distance provides ample between-center length, enabling extended workpiece configurations for complex turning applications. Powered by a 30.0 HP motor, the lathe delivers robust cutting performance necessary for sustained production runs and demanding material removal tasks. The manual operation allows skilled operators full control over feed rates, spindle speeds, and tool positioning, providing flexibility for custom work and job-specific requirements. The 160mm designation indicates the chuck capacity and bore specifications typical of CLARK's precision engineering standards. This model represents mid-range industrial turning equipment, balancing power and versatility for general machine shop work, shaft manufacturing, and component production. The combination of substantial swing capacity with reasonable center distance makes the CWQ 160/2000 particularly effective for producing cylindrical parts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its manual configuration requires operator expertise but eliminates dependence on complex CNC programming, making it valuable for shops requiring flexibility and multi-purpose capability. The machine's specifications position it as a reliable workhorse for facilities handling diverse turning requirements within the 63-inch workpiece diameter range.
