MODERN CW61180X3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MODERN CW61180X3000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty horizontal lathe designed for large-scale machining tasks. It features a maximum swing diameter over the bed of 70.2 inches (1782 mm) and a maximum distance between centers of 120 inches (3000 mm), allowing it to accommodate large workpieces. The spindle bore diameter is 5.1 inches (130 mm), enabling the machining of substantial parts with through-hole capacity. Powered by a robust 40 horsepower motor, the machine delivers a spindle speed up to 315 RPM, suitable for a range of heavy machining operations requiring precision and power. The swing over cross slide is 55 inches (1400 mm), providing ample clearance for tool movement during cutting. The lathe’s construction ensures rigidity and precision, with a durable bed and high-strength cast iron components that promote stability during heavy cutting. The spindle is equipped with multiple speed steps, usually controlled by a forward gear shift system, to accommodate various threading and turning tasks. Its manual operation includes features such as hydraulic controls for spindle rotation changes and braking, along with a tailstock equipped with a scale dial for precise positioning. This lathe is engineered to handle metal cutting for industrial applications, featuring wear-resistant guideways and pressure oil forced lubrication of the headstock to enhance reliability and longevity. Overall, the CW61180X3000 is built for robustness, precision, and efficiency in heavy-duty turning operations involving large, heavy workpieces.
