KNUTH TUBETURN 200 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH TubeTurn 200 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance lathe designed for heavy-duty turning applications with a maximum turning diameter of 25.0 inches (630 mm) and a maximum turning length of 51.0 inches (1300 mm). It features a robust main spindle with a 20-inch (520 mm) chuck diameter, capable of speeds ranging from 24 to 300 RPM and delivering 10.1 HP (7.5 kW) power, providing high torque for efficient chip removal and machining of large-diameter parts. The machine includes two simultaneous cutting tools and offers a Z-axis travel of 51 inches (1250 mm) alongside an X-axis travel of approximately 13.4 inches (340 mm), supporting complex operations and high precision. A taper turning unit is integrated, enhancing versatility for threading and tapered part production with a wide range of inch and metric thread capabilities. The spindle bore measures about 7.9 inches (200 mm), accommodating large workpieces, while the machine is built on a heavy-duty box-way construction with hardened and ground gears for durability and accuracy. It incorporates a 3-axis position indicator with high resolution (0.0004 / 0.0002 inches) and features central, user-friendly controls for feed rates and thread leads. Additional features include a coolant system, heavy-duty 4-station tool holder, front and rear chuck mounting options, and ergonomic design elements such as an easy-to-read display and operator-centric keyboard layout. The machine delivers enhanced accuracy, reduced error rates, and productivity gains, making it suitable for precision tube and bar machining in industrial workflows.
