MAINLAND CA6180/1500 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6180/1500 is a conventional horizontal manual lathe engineered for medium-duty machining operations. This machine features a robust cast iron construction with specialized copper and chromium materials that enhance durability and stability. The lathe accommodates workpieces up to 1,500mm in length with a bed width of 400mm, providing excellent rigidity for demanding cutting applications. The spindle system delivers a 2.0-inch bore with MT5 taper and operates across a range of 16-1,400 RPM in 64 feed variations, enabling versatile machining capabilities. Powered by a 10.1 HP motor, the machine achieves a cutting torque of 70 N.m. The swing capacity of 31.5 inches over the bed and 21.3 inches over the cross slide allows for processing large-diameter components efficiently. Key structural features include a 400mm bed rail with 4mm quenching depth for enhanced wear resistance and a four-station turret with 25x25mm tool post capacity. The machine incorporates forced circulation lubrication in the headstock, optimizing heat dissipation and bearing longevity. Precision ground gears and high-quality domestic lead screws with bronze alloy nuts ensure consistent performance and minimal wear. The CA6180/1500 is versatile for turning internal and external cylindrical surfaces, conical profiles, threading (metric, inch, and modulus), and drilling operations. Pre-factory testing ensures stability and reliability. With dimensions of 3,150x1,140x1,750mm and a weight of 2,980kg, this lathe suits batch production environments demanding strong cutting capability and operational precision.
