HMT MACHINE TOOLS L45/7000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The HMT Machine Tools L45/7000 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty lathe designed for precision machining of large components. It features a **swing over bed of 35.43 inches (900 mm)** and a **distance between centers of 275.59 inches (7000 mm)**, allowing it to accommodate long workpieces. The lathe has a **spindle bore of 4.33 inches (110 mm)**, facilitating bar passage for larger diameter stock. Powered by a robust **24.81 HP (approximately 18.5 kW) motor**, it delivers reliable performance for demanding machining tasks. The spindle speed ranges up to **450 RPM**, supporting a variety of turning operations with controlled cutting speeds. The **swing over the cross slide is 22.44 inches (570 mm)**, providing flexibility for cross-slide operations. This lathe is suitable for heavy-duty applications with features that include precise feed rates for both longitudinal and cross feeds, metric and inch threading capabilities, and a tailstock sleeve stroke (typically around 325 mm) for additional workpiece support. The machine's design ensures economy, accuracy, and speed in machining operations commonly required in industrial environments. Its sturdy construction supports heavy loads, with job weight capacity up to 5.5 tonnes with steady rests, making it ideal for manufacturing large cylindrical parts requiring high precision turning, threading, facing, and profiling operations.
