Technical Description

The HMT MACHINE TOOLS NH32/3000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty, high-precision machine designed for efficient turning operations. It features a robust rigid rectangular section wide bed with induction hardened integral guideways for maximum stability and minimal thermal deformation. The lathe has a swing capacity of 25.2 inches and a distance between centers of 118.1 inches, enabling it to handle large workpieces. Its spindle bore diameter measures 3.1 inches, supporting a wide range of spindle-mounted tooling. Powered by a 14.8 HP motor, the spindle can achieve speeds up to 1,632 RPM, ensuring responsive and versatile machining performance. The swing over the cross slide is 16.5 inches, allowing precise cutting close to the machine bed. The headstock contains case-hardened and ground drive gears for durability, and a short spindle design enhances drive rigidity. The spindle nose standard is A2-8/80 mm. The machine is supplied with standard accessories such as a quick-change tool post supporting five tools, 60° dead and rotating centers, and includes an operating tool set and instruction manual. Dry sump lubrication systems minimize heat effects, supporting long operational stability. The tailstock sleeve stroke is 200 mm, facilitating varied support for extended workpieces. Its construction and features make it suitable for machining operations requiring high accuracy, rigidity, and long reach on medium to large components.
