MAINLAND CA6180/750 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6180/750 manual lathe is a high-precision horizontal lathe designed for versatile and robust metalworking applications. It features a swing capacity of 31.5 inches and centers distance of 29.5 inches, allowing for machining of moderately large workpieces. The spindle bore diameter is 2.0 inches, accommodating larger tooling and shaft work. Powered by a 10.1 HP motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 1,400 RPM over multiple step settings, enabling a broad range of cutting speeds for various materials and operations. The machine offers a swing over the cross slide of 21.3 inches, providing versatility in shaping and turning operations on smaller diameters within the swing capacity. Constructed with a high-strength cast iron bed of 400 mm width and quenched, wear-resistant bed rails, the lathe provides excellent rigidity, stability, and machining accuracy. Its headstock, tailstock, and bed are precision scraped for enhanced surface contact, and the spindle employs Wafangdian bearings for durability and low noise. The four-station turret accepts tooling sized 25x25 mm, allowing for efficient tool changes and multiple operation styles. Lubrication is maintained by a forced circulation pump system ensuring long life of bearings and gears under demanding conditions. This manual lathe is optimized for turning cylindrical, conical, and threaded surfaces, suitable for medium to heavy-duty machining tasks in metalworking shops and manufacturing environments.
