HEADMAN HTD450 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on small to medium-sized workpieces. The machine features a 17.72-inch swing over bed, enabling machining of parts with a maximum turning diameter of 7.87 inches, and offers a machining length of 3.94 inches for axial workpiece movement. The 6-inch chuck provides secure workpiece clamping, while the 1.77-inch bar capacity accommodates bar stock feeding for automated production runs. Powered by a 10-horsepower motor, the lathe delivers sufficient cutting force for various materials and machining operations. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal rates and faster cycle times for high-precision turning tasks. The CNC control system allows for programmable tool paths, automatic spindle speed adjustment, and repeatable accuracy across multiple production runs. This machine is ideal for job shops and small manufacturing facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities without extensive floor space requirements. The combination of adequate power and spindle speed makes it suitable for both finishing operations and general turning applications. Key performance factors include rapid traverse capability along multiple axes, precision positioning for complex geometries, and integrated coolant systems for extended tool life. The compact design makes it particularly valuable for operations with space constraints while maintaining the capability to produce quality components with tight tolerances and consistent repeatability.
