OPTIMUM D 420 x 1500 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Optimum D 420 x 1500 DPA is a precision manual center lathe engineered for versatile metalworking applications. This heavy-duty machine features a swing diameter of 420mm (16.54 inches) above the bed and accommodates workpieces up to 1500mm (59.06 inches) between centers. The spindle bore measures 2.05 inches with a maximum spindle speed of 1,800 RPM, delivering 6.06 horsepower for efficient material removal across a range of operations. The lathe incorporates a hardened and ground Z-axis guideway with guaranteed spindle nose concentricity better than 0.015mm, ensuring superior accuracy in repetitive machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a Camlock DIN ISO 702-2 No. 6 spindle holder and features adjustable upper slide with ±90-degree range capability. Threading capability spans all metric pitches from 0.2 to 14 mm/rev and inch threads from 72 to 2 threads per inch, selectable via control panel switch lever without requiring change gear replacement. The machine utilizes a heavily ribbed prism bed cast from induction-hardened gray cast iron for exceptional rigidity and vibration dampening. Central lubrication in the bed slide and oil bath spindle operation ensure extended component life and smooth performance. Safety features include two-channel safety electronics, emergency stop with foot actuation, and safety handwheels with disengagement function per EN23125 standards. Weighing 3,968.32 lbs, this precision instrument represents a reliable solution for production and toolroom environments requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
