HANKOOK KM51/2000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The HANKOOK KM51/2000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for large-diameter workpiece machining applications. This machine features a maximum swing diameter of 51.0 inches (approximately 1,295mm), enabling operators to work with substantially sized cylindrical components. The between-centers distance spans 78.0 inches, providing extended capacity for longer workpieces, with the capability to accommodate even greater load distribution when equipped with two steady rests, reaching 18 tons of load capacity. The lathe is equipped with a 3.3-inch spindle bore diameter, facilitating the accommodation of various tooling configurations and workholding devices. The machine delivers 40.0 horsepower through its drive system, enabling efficient material removal across diverse ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 500 RPM, the unit prioritizes torque and holding power over rapid rotation, making it ideally suited for heavy roughing operations and finishing work on large components. This manual lathe represents a robust industrial platform designed for job shops, manufacturing facilities, and contract machine shops requiring reliable precision machining on substantial workpieces. The 12-ton standard load capacity between centers demonstrates the machine's structural rigidity and capability to withstand sustained cutting forces during production runs. The combination of substantial swing diameter, extended center distance, and powerful spindle specifications positions the KM51/2000 as a versatile solution for large-scale turning operations requiring dependable performance and precision in demanding machining environments.
