LIOUY HSING LA-530 MANUAL LATHE

The Liouy Hsing LA-530 Manual Lathe is a high-precision machine engineered for versatile metal turning tasks. It features a robust 300 mm (12-inch) wide bed and offers a substantial swing over the bed of 532 mm (20.9 inches), allowing it to accommodate large diameter workpieces. The lathe provides a spindle bore of 58 mm (2.3 inches), enabling the machining of long components through the spindle. Its spindle speed range is extensive, with 12 selectable speeds from 35 up to 2,000 RPM, offering optimal cutting conditions for various materials and operations. The distance between centers can range from 1100 to 1700 mm depending on the model configuration, facilitating the machining of longer workpieces. Its top slide provides a total travel of 120 mm, while the tailstock quill has a 60 mm diameter with 150 mm travel, tapering at No. 4 Morse. The machine supports both inch and metric threading with a lead screw diameter of 35 mm and thread pitches varying between 4 TPI to 6 mm. Feed rates for longitudinal and cross feeds span 0.03 to 0.85 mm, allowing precision control over finishing and roughing processes. The lathe is powered by a 5 HP spindle drive motor, with an optional 7.5 HP upgrade for more demanding operations. It also includes a coolant pump motor (1/8 HP) for maintaining optimal cutting temperatures. Overall, the LA-530 combines rigidity, precision, and versatility, making it suitable for heavy-duty manual turning work in industrial settings.
