Technical Description

The PROKING PC-80 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations on large workpieces. With an 80.71-inch swing over bed capacity, this machine accommodates substantial shaft work and complex components typical of oil, gas, and subsea industries. The PC-80 features a maximum swing over the cross slide of 1,600mm, enabling versatile workpiece positioning and access for intricate machining operations. Powered by a standard 30 HP dual-voltage spindle motor with optional configurations up to 75 HP, the machine delivers reliable cutting force for demanding applications. The spindle features an A2-11 to A2-40 nose taper with a bore capacity ranging from 7 to 32 inches, accommodating various tool holders and through-spindle operations. The lathe supports a distance between centers extending from 1,500mm to 12,000mm in 40-inch increments, providing flexibility for different workpiece lengths. The machine is constructed on a 2-shear hardened and precision ground bed-way system, ensuring maximum stability and minimal vibration during high-precision operations. Standard accessories include a pressurized one-shot lubrication system for the cross slide and carriage, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance intervals. The PC-80 is equipped with a dead centre MT#6 and features a carriage position device for repeatable setup accuracy. Weighing up to 31,000kg, the substantial construction provides the structural rigidity necessary for stable, accurate performance in heavy-duty machining environments.
