Technical Description

The KAAST Machine Tools C-Turn 230/2000 is a robust manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty and precision turning. It features a 17.88-inch (460 mm) swing over the bed with a maximum distance between centers of 78.06 inches (2000 mm), allowing for large workpieces. The spindle incorporates a 2.10-inch (56 mm) bore, accommodating substantial tooling. Powered by a 7.5 HP motor, the spindle achieves speeds up to 2,800 RPM, supporting a wide range of machining applications from roughing to finishing. The lathe bed is constructed from heavily ribbed cast iron for enhanced rigidity and vibration dampening, providing smooth, quiet operation. Hardened and precision-ground guideways (HRC 55-60) ensure long-lasting accuracy and durability. Key features include a universal gearbox compatible with metric, Whitworth, module, and diametral threading without gear changes, offering versatility. The machine also supports manual control with an optional digital readout for precise positioning. Lubrication of slideways and drive components is fully automatic, and the saddle and cross slide surfaces are coated with Turcite-B for reduced wear. Optional add-ons include rapid traverse, various chucks, steady or follow rests, taper attachments, and tool holders. Overall, the C-Turn 230/2000 presents a high-quality, stable platform tailored for precision manual turning tasks requiring extended capacity and reliable performance in industrial environments.
