MAINLAND CA6161/2000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6161/2000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty horizontal lathe designed for precision metal turning with a maximum swing over bed of 610 mm (24.02 inches) and a maximum swing over cross slide of 370 mm (14.57 inches). It accommodates workpieces up to 2000 mm (78.74 inches) in length. The lathe is powered by a robust 10.06 HP (approximately 7.5 kW) motor delivering spindle speeds ranging from 10 to 1400 RPM across 24 stepped speeds, enabling versatile machining of internal/external cylindrical, taper, and threaded surfaces. The machine bed is constructed from high-strength cast iron with a 400 mm wide bed and hardened and ground bed rails, enhancing rigidity and wear resistance for stable, precise operations. The spindle features a bore diameter of 52 mm and uses an MT6 taper for optimal tool holding, while the tool post accommodates standard 25x25 mm turning tool inserts. The lathe includes 64 longitudinal feed options, supporting metric, module, and inch thread cutting, with a tailstock spindle travel of 150 mm and MT5 taper. The machine is suitable for medium-duty machining tasks requiring high precision, commonly used in metalworking shops for conventional horizontal turning operations. Physical dimensions approximate 3650 mm length, 1140 mm width, and 1750 mm height with a weight around 2200-2787 kg, depending on configuration. Certified with ISO 9001 and CE standards, the CA6161/2000 offers reliable performance through manual scraping, thermal stability, and well-tested structural design for consistent machining accuracy. It is equipped with adequate lubrication and safety systems for long-term workplace productivity.
