HANKOOK KM51/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Hankook KM51/3000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty machine designed for machining large and precise cylindrical components. It features a 51.0-inch swing, allowing the turning of sizable workpieces, with centers extending up to 118.9 inches to accommodate long parts. The spindle bore measures 3.3 inches, permitting the passage of substantial material lengths through the spindle for deep or through-hole machining. Powered by a robust 40 HP motor, the lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 500 RPM, providing adequate torque for heavy cutting tasks while maintaining precise control. This manual lathe’s construction emphasizes rigidity and durability, essential for maintaining accuracy during large-scale turning operations. Its sizeable swing and center distance make it suitable for applications in heavy industry, such as aerospace, automotive, and large-scale manufacturing where precision and power are critical. The machine is manually controlled, offering skilled operators direct manipulation over machining parameters for intricate and customized work. Its specification balances power, travel capacity, and spindle dimension to meet the requirements of machining large diameter shafts, rolls, and other extensive turned parts efficiently and reliably.
