OPTIMUM D 460 X 2000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The OPTIMUM D 460 X 2000 is a heavy-duty precision manual lathe engineered for versatile metalworking applications. This machine features a generous swing diameter of 18.3 inches above the machine bed, with an extended center distance of 78.7 inches, making it suitable for turning longer workpieces and larger diameter stock. The spindle bore measures 2.3 inches, accommodating various tooling configurations, while the swing over cross slide of 10.6 inches provides excellent clearance for complex operations. Powered by a robust 7.4 HP motor with a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, the lathe delivers smooth, low-vibration performance. The machine incorporates a heavily ribbed prism bed constructed from induction-hardened gray cast iron for superior rigidity and accuracy. Key features include hardened and ground Z-axis guideways with guaranteed spindle nose concentricity of ±0.015 mm, precision tapered roller bearings for smooth gear operation, and central lubrication in the bed slide. The lathe offers adjustable upper slide with ±90-degree adjustment range and a tailstock capable of taper turning adjustment up to ±10 mm. Additional safety and operational enhancements include two-channel safety electronics, mechanical longitudinal feed with four adjustable eccentrics, emergency stop with foot actuation, and an integrated large chip guard with LED machine lamp. The machine employs a high-speed feed gearbox in closed design with hardened and ground gear wheels operating in precision bearings, complemented by switchable right/left rotation on the bed slide.
