MESTA 132" X 660" HEAVY DUTY MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The MESTA 132" x 660" Heavy Duty Manual Lathe is a precision industrial machine designed for large-scale machining operations requiring substantial turning capacity and power. Featuring a 128-inch swing over bed and 58-inch swing over cross slide, this lathe accommodates oversized workpieces with exceptional dimensional control. The impressive 660-inch distance between centers enables the machining of extremely long components, while the 75-ton capacity between centers supports heavy-duty cutting operations on demanding materials. Powered by a robust 75 HP main motor drive, the lathe delivers consistent performance across its spindle speed range of 1 to 23 RPM, optimized for large-diameter work and heavy cuts. The geared head design provides smooth, reliable power transmission essential for precision turning. The machine is equipped with a substantial 69-inch 4-jaw chuck offering secure workpiece clamping across a wide range of part geometries. Standard features include a heavy-duty tailstock, steady rest for extended workpieces, and a precision tool post ensuring accurate tool positioning and repeatability. The pendant control system provides convenient operator interface for machine functions during operation. This configuration makes the MESTA ideal for applications such as rolls, shafts, cylinders, and other large cylindrical components in heavy manufacturing, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The combination of substantial swing capacity, extended between-center distance, and adequate power ensures reliable production of precision components requiring significant material removal rates.
