PROKING PK 80 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PROKING PK 80 manual lathe is a heavy-duty machine designed for large-scale turning operations. It features an impressive swing capacity of 80.3 inches, allowing large diameter workpieces to be machined with ease. The distance between centers is 787.4 inches, enabling the handling of exceptionally long workpieces. The spindle bore diameter measures 12.5 inches, facilitating the passage of large bars and hollow workpieces through the spindle for internal machining tasks. The lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 400 RPM, providing a balance of torque and precision, ideal for heavy cutting and roughing operations. Constructed for durability and stability, the PK 80 includes a robust bed and carriage system designed to withstand substantial machining forces. Additional features typical to PROKING lathes, such as pressurized one-shot lubrication for smooth carriage and cross-slide movement, and high torque spindle motors capable of dual voltage operation (commonly ranging from 50 to 200 HP in similar models), enhance performance and reliability. The machine is optimized for manual operation, offering precise control over tool positioning and feed rates suitable for diverse industrial applications requiring large workpiece handling and reliable operation.
