MAINLAND CA6180B/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6180B/3000 manual lathe is a robust horizontal metal turning machine designed for medium to heavy-duty machining tasks. It features a maximum swing of 31.5 inches (800 mm) over the bed and a swing over the cross slide of 21.3 inches (540 mm), enabling it to handle sizable workpieces up to 118.1 inches (3000 mm) in length. The lathe is equipped with a 10.1 HP spindle motor allowing speeds up to 1,400 RPM with 24 speed steps, providing versatility for various cutting tasks. The spindle bore diameter is 2.0 inches, supporting the accommodation of larger bars or stock materials. Constructed from high-strength cast iron with copper and chromium additives, it ensures bed rigidity and vibration dampening for precision machining. The bed width measures 400 mm, and the tool post supports standard 25×25 mm tool bits with four stations for quick tool changes. The spindle taper is MT6, facilitating compatibility with a wide range of tooling. The tailstock offers 150 mm spindle travel, supporting long workpieces securely. Weighing approximately 3,000 to 4,100 kg depending on configuration, the lathe is suitable for turning, facing, threading, and drilling operations in metalworking shops requiring high accuracy and stability. Its manual operation allows detailed control for precision cutting, polishing it as an ideal machine for workshops focusing on medium-large parts production. Overall dimensions are roughly 4850×1140×1750 mm for the 3000 mm bed length variant, making it a substantial but manageable addition to any precision metalworking facility.
