CLARK MACHINE TOOL CZ 120C/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The CLARK MACHINE TOOL CZ 120C/1000 is a precision engine lathe designed for general-purpose machining operations. This manual lathe features a 47.24-inch swing diameter, providing ample clearance for turning large workpieces, with a center distance of 39.37 inches that accommodates extended spindle-to-tailstock configurations. Powered by a 20 horsepower motor, the machine delivers substantial cutting force suitable for heavy-duty production and maintenance work. Operating at 750 RPM, the lathe operates at speeds optimized for robust metal removal and dimensional accuracy across various material types. The machine's design emphasizes rigid construction typical of industrial engine lathes, ensuring stability during high-torque operations and minimizing vibration-induced surface finish degradation. The CZ 120C/1000 incorporates manual control systems, allowing operators to precisely manage feed rates, spindle speed, and cutting parameters without automation dependency. Its configuration makes it suitable for batch production, job shop applications, and maintenance operations requiring manual operator control and adjustment. The lathe's substantial swing capacity and center distance enable processing of diverse workpiece geometries, from cylindrical shafts to complex multi-stepped components. This model represents the classic industrial lathe category, combining power delivery with mechanical precision to meet demanding machining requirements in manufacturing environments where manual operation and operator expertise are valued.
