MAINLAND CA6280C/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6280C/1000 is a horizontal manual gap-bed lathe designed for precision metal turning and material processing applications. This medium-duty machine features a 400mm bed width and accommodates workpieces up to 1000mm between centers, making it suitable for mid-range production work. The lathe delivers a maximum swing over the bed of 800mm (31.5 inches) and a maximum swing in the gap of 1020mm, enabling machining of larger diameter components. The swing over the carriage measures 540mm, while the effective gap length extends 210mm for enhanced flexibility in workpiece configuration. Equipped with a 7.5kW (10.1 HP) main spindle motor, the machine operates at speeds ranging from 16 to 1400 RPM across 24 steps, providing versatility for various cutting operations. The spindle features a 52mm bore with an MT6 taper (Morse taper No. 6), and three spindle bore size options are available: 52mm, 80mm, and 105mm. The lathe incorporates a 3-jaw chuck and an MT5 tailstock taper with 150mm maximum spindle travel. Its turning tool capacity accommodates 25x25mm sections with 64 different feed options and threading capabilities spanning metric, inch, module, and pitch threads. Overall dimensions for the 1000mm model measure 2700×1140×1750mm with a net weight of approximately 3500kg. The machine includes standard features such as four tool post stations, video outgoing-inspection documentation, and machinery test reports, making it ideal for precision engine work and general metal fabrication requiring reliable, cost-effective production.
