COMEV MT 200 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The COMEV MT 200 is a precision manual lathe designed for parallel turning operations with a swing capacity of 15.75 inches (400 mm) and a center distance of 59.06 inches (1500 mm). It features a monobloc headstock cast for rigidity, housing an 8+8 speed gearbox with geometric progression and a double mechanical clutch for smooth operation. The lathe supports a bar passage diameter of 52 mm and can handle workpiece diameters up to approximately 570 mm over the saddle. It offers 72 feed rates and 52 threading pitches across multiple systems, including Metric, Whitworth, Diametral Pitch, and English threads, all achievable without the need for external gear changes. The machine is equipped with a large vernier scale on the handwheel for precise manual movement readouts, enabling accurate control during machining cycles such as grinding, threading, and finishing. Its construction and configuration make it suitable for versatile workshop applications requiring reliable, manual lathe capability with significant turning capacity and fine feed control. The lathe is CE-certified and typically used for medium-to-large diameter turning tasks with a maximal distance between centers suitable for long shafts or components. Designed and manufactured by COMEV, it embodies traditional engineering combined with a robust and flexible drive system to accommodate various threading and feed requirements, making it a valuable machine tool in precision metalworking environments.
