OPTIMUM TZ 6222 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The OPTIMUM TZ 6222 is a heavy-duty manual metalworking lathe engineered for precision turning and conventional machining operations. This machine features a maximum swing diameter of 24.41 inches above the machine bed, accommodating workpieces up to 620mm in diameter. With a center distance of 87.60 inches (approximately 2,200mm), the lathe provides extensive turning capacity for longer stock materials. Powered by a robust 7.5kW motor operating at 1,500 RPM maximum, the machine delivers consistent performance across its 12-speed range (30–1,500 min⁻¹) for varied turning applications. The cross slide swing capability of 16.73 inches (approximately 425mm) enables efficient face turning and parting operations on the planing slide. The machine bed features a heavily ribbed cast iron construction with a single-part steel chassis, providing exceptional rigidity and vibration dampening essential for precision work. The spindle incorporates a Camlock DIN ISO 702-2 No. 8 chuck with an MT 7 taper and 80mm bore passage diameter, while the MT 5 tailstock accommodates additional tooling. Precision is enhanced through metric threading capabilities (0.5–15mm/rev) and adjustable feeds ranging from 0.1–3mm/rev on the longitudinal axis and 0.05–1.5mm/rev on the cross slide. Weighing approximately 2,800kg with overall dimensions of 3,600mm length × 1,860mm height × 1,194mm width, the TZ 6222 represents a serious production machine for small to medium-sized job shops and educational institutions.
