Technical Description

The POREBA TCG-160 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for precision machining of large workpieces. Featuring a robust 100 HP spindle motor, this machine delivers maximum swing capabilities of 62.99 inches over the bedways and 51.18 inches over the cross slide, with a 196.8-inch distance between centers and 63-inch bed width. The spindle bore measures 4.13 inches with a 10.25-inch front journal diameter, offering 24 selectable spindle speeds ranging from 1.6 to 200 RPM. With 20 longitudinal feeds spanning 0.007 to 0.2 IPR and 20 cross feeds from 0.0035 to 0.1 IPR, the machine provides exceptional feed control precision. The rapid traverse speed reaches 158 IPM for efficient positioning. Threading capabilities include both metric (1 to 129) and inch (30 to 1/8) ranges. The tailstock quill features an 11.02-inch diameter with 23.62 inches of travel. Workpiece weight capacity reaches 66,000 lbs between centers, expandable to 77,000 lbs with one steady rest or 88,000 lbs with two steady rests. Standard equipment includes a 63-inch 4-jaw chuck, two steady rests (16 and 50 inches), power-operated tailstock with locking live center, power compound for taper turning, 4-way tool post, hardened precision ways, and pendant carriage station. This configuration makes the TCG-160 ideal for heavy-duty production work requiring superior accuracy and load capacity.
