MAINLAND CA6180/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6180/3000 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty horizontal metal turning machine designed for precision machining of cylindrical, conical, and threaded surfaces. It features a robust 31.5-inch swing over the bed and a maximum workpiece length capacity of 118.1 inches (3000 mm), accommodating large and long shaft and disc components. The lathe’s spindle bore measures 2.0 inches with a spindle taper of MT6, supporting a broad spindle speed range up to 1,400 RPM powered by a 10.1 HP motor, delivering a cutting torque around 1100 N·m suitable for strong cutting operations. The top slide swing is 21.3 inches, allowing flexible tooling and operation. Its bed width of 400 mm is made of high-strength cast iron with surface quenching to 4 mm depth, enhancing wear resistance and machine stability. The machine features a four-station tool turret with 25x25 mm tooling size, enabling rapid tool changes and multifunctional operation. Precision is ensured through manual scraping processes on binding surfaces between the bed, headstock, and tailstock, and a forced circulation lubrication system promotes longevity of bearings and gears. The lathe’s design emphasizes rigidity and power transmission efficiency, making it suitable for batch processing of various metal parts. The tailstock offers 150 mm spindle travel with MT5 taper. This model includes 64 feed options, supports metric and inch thread cutting, and undergoes strict factory testing to guarantee stability and reliability in demanding machining environments.
