KAAST MACHINE TOOLS D-TURN HD560/8000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The KAAST D-TURN HD560/8000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty turning machine designed for machining large and long workpieces with precision. It features a substantial swing capacity of 43.5 inches and a center-to-center distance of 312 inches, accommodating very long shafts or large components. The spindle bore diameter measures 5.9 inches, allowing passage of sizable parts through the spindle for extended workpiece lengths. Driven by a powerful 30 HP motor, it delivers spindle speeds up to 420 RPM, suitable for heavy cutting operations. The lathe is built on a robust FC-30 cast iron bed with strong ribbing to minimize vibration and enhance machining stability. Its guideways are case-hardened and ground for sustained precision over time. The machine includes Turcite B coatings on both the X and Z axes to reduce friction and extend service life. Weighing approximately 31,460 lbs, this lathe is engineered for high rigidity and durability. It supports manual operation with either 2-axis or optional 3-axis control, and is equipped with rapid traverse on X and Y axes for efficient tool positioning. The spindle mount is standardized as A2-5. Typical applications include the machining of large metal parts for industries such as heavy equipment manufacturing and energy sectors, where precise, heavy-duty turning of long and bulky workpieces is required.
