FOLLOW CE660X3000VCC MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The CE660X3000VCC is a CNC-controlled manual lathe designed for precision metal cutting and machining operations. Featuring a 25.98-inch swing diameter, this machine accommodates medium to large workpieces with substantial stock removal capacity. The 118.11-inch center distance between spindle and tailstock enables extended workpiece lengths, making it suitable for shaft work, cylindrical components, and lengthy turned parts. This lathe integrates Fagor VCC CNC control technology, providing automated feed control and threading capabilities while maintaining manual operational flexibility. The system allows for precise dimensional accuracy through computer-aided positioning and feed rate optimization. The horizontal configuration with robust bed construction ensures rigidity during heavy-duty machining operations. Key operational features include a spindle bore of approximately 105mm (MT5 taper), spindle speed range of 25-1600 rpm, and a 7.5kW main motor delivering adequate power for demanding applications. The lathe accommodates both metric and inch threading with ranges up to 120mm and 80 TPI respectively, featuring 54 thread combinations. Cross-slide travel capacity reaches 368mm, while the top slide provides 230mm of traverse. The machine specifications include a bed width of approximately 400mm and maximum tool shank dimensions of 25 x 25mm. With a net weight exceeding 3,300kg, the lathe provides substantial mass for vibration dampening and thermal stability. This combination of manual operation versatility with CNC control precision makes the CE660X3000VCC suitable for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments requiring both flexibility and accuracy in metal machining applications.
