POREBA TCG-125/5M MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Poreba TCG-125/5M is a heavy-duty manual lathe designed for large-scale production turning operations. Featuring a maximum swing of 49.21 inches over the bedways and a center distance of 196.85 inches, this machine accommodates substantial workpieces with considerable length. The 4.13-inch spindle bore and variable spindle speeds ranging from 1.6 to 315 RPM provide flexibility for diverse machining applications. Powered by a 100 HP main spindle motor delivering 74.6 kW, the lathe achieves robust cutting performance across varied material compositions. The machine incorporates a 49-inch 4-jaw chuck for secure workholding and features a power top compound enabling precision taper cutting operations. A 6-way power rapid traverse system enhances productivity through automated positioning, while the 4-way toolpost accommodates multiple cutting tools simultaneously. Weight capacity reaches 60,000 lbs for unsupported workpieces, expanding to 80,000 lbs when utilizing both steady rests for extended or slender components. Additional equipment includes grinding and milling attachments for multi-functional capability, integrated coolant circulation for superior surface finish, a power tailstock for automated center positioning, and dual steady rests ensuring vibration reduction during extended turning cycles. Dual-range threading capability supports both inch and metric specifications, facilitating international production requirements. The 43.3-inch bed width and 37-inch swing over cross slide optimize workspace utilization. This robust machine represents industrial-grade manufacturing equipment suitable for heavy turning, threading, and specialized grinding operations in demanding production environments.
