Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6140B/1500 is a manual horizontal lathe machine designed for versatile metal turning operations. This conventional machine features a maximum swing over bed of 400mm (15.75 inches) and accommodates workpieces up to 1,500mm in length with a maximum swing over carriage of 210mm (8.27 inches). The lathe is powered by a 7.5kW (10.06 HP) motor and operates at spindle speeds ranging from 16 to 1,400 RPM across 24 steps, providing flexibility for various machining applications. The machine is equipped with a Morse 6 spindle taper with a 52mm spindle bore, enabling secure tool mounting and reliable operation. The turning tool arbor has a 25×25mm cross-section, allowing for efficient material removal. This lathe achieves high dimensional accuracy up to IT7 level and delivers smooth surface finishes suitable for precision work. The CA6140B/1500 handles a wide range of machining tasks including internal and external cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, rotating surfaces, end faces, and various thread types (metric, inch, modular, and radial pitch). It is capable of processing steel, cast iron, and nonferrous metals while also performing drilling, reaming, and oil groove operations. The saddle lathe design enables turning of flat and irregularly shaped parts beyond standard cylindrical work. Additionally, the machine features a manual braking system for operational control and safety, making it suitable for job shops and general manufacturing environments requiring dependable turning capabilities.
