LANSING GR 60/73 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The LANSING GR 60/73 is a heavy-duty manual gap-bed engine lathe designed for large-scale machining operations. This industrial machine features a substantial 60-inch swing over bed with a 73-inch swing capability over its 24-inch wide gap section, accommodating oversized workpieces. The 240-inch distance between centers enables extended part production, while the 4-inch spindle bore hole provides flexibility for through-spindle operations. Powered by a robust 50 HP motor configured for 3-phase, 60 Hz service, the lathe operates across a variable spindle speed range of 2.8 to 310 RPM, facilitating diverse material removal rates and cutting requirements. The machine incorporates both 31.5-inch three-jaw and four-jaw chuck options for secure workpiece clamping, with an additional 21-inch steady rest for maintaining straightness during extended machining cycles. Precision is maintained through metric and inch threading capabilities at 31.5 inches, supporting diverse production specifications. The 5.5-inch tailstock quill diameter and MT #6 tailstock taper ensure compatibility with standard tooling. Operator control is managed through a pendant control system, allowing intuitive manipulation of machine functions. The cam-lock spindle nose provides rapid tooling changes and consistent runout characteristics. This configuration makes the LANSING GR 60/73 ideal for heavy production work, including shaft turning, boring, and precision cylindrical grinding applications in manufacturing environments.
