HMT MACHINE TOOLS L60/7000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The HMT Machine Tools L60/7000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations in industrial machine shops. Featuring a robust box bed construction with Timken/NNK spindle bearings and case-hardened gears, this machine delivers economy, precision, and speed for demanding production environments. With a swing over bed of 1,150mm (45.28 inches) and a maximum distance between centers of 7,000mm (275.59 inches), the lathe accommodates large workpieces for extended machining operations. The spindle bore diameter of 110mm (4.33 inches) accepts substantial bar stock and tooling configurations, while the swing over cross slide of 870mm (34.25 inches) provides ample clearance for tool access and workpiece positioning. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 450 RPM with 18.5-24.81 HP motor power, the machine delivers consistent torque for heavy interrupted cuts and tough materials. The lathe features 77 longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.1-6.4mm/rev and 71 cross-feed rates from 0.05-3.2mm/rev, enabling versatile threading, facing, and turning operations. Metric thread capacity spans 51 options from 1-112mm, while 56 inch thread options range from ¼ to 28 tpi, supporting diverse manufacturing requirements. The tailstock sleeve stroke of 325mm ensures adequate tool and steady rest positioning. Capable of supporting 3.5 tonnes without steadies and 5.5 tonnes with two steadies, the L60/7000 is ideal for high-precision production work in automotive, aerospace, and heavy engineering applications.
