KAAST MACHINE TOOLS D-TURN HD560/6000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The KAAST D-Turn HD560/6000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for machining large-diameter and long workpieces with exceptional rigidity and precision. Featuring a 43.5-inch swing capacity and 233.5-inch center-to-center distance, this machine accommodates substantial components for both rough and finish cutting operations. The 5.9-inch spindle bore, with optional configurations up to 12 inches available, provides versatility for various workpiece requirements. Built on a heavy FC-30 cast machine bed with robust ribbing, the lathe minimizes vibrations while maintaining superior structural integrity. Transmission gears and shafts are manufactured from hardened and ground high-alloy steel, operating in an oil bath for extended durability. A multi-plate clutch drives the main spindle, while case-hardened and ground guideways ensure precision over years of operation. Operating at 420 RPM with 30 horsepower, this lathe delivers consistent cutting performance across diverse applications. The X and Z-axes are coated with Turcite B for smooth, reliable traverse. Standard configuration includes a 3-axis digital readout (DRO), longitudinal and cross rapid feed, automatic lubrication system, and complete tooling packages. Tool shank dimensions accommodate 40x40mm specifications, while the tailstock features dual feed speeds for enhanced operational flexibility. Weighing 27,060 pounds, this industrial-grade machine provides the stability and precision required for demanding production environments, making it ideal for heavy-duty turning operations in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing sectors.
