Featuring a 14-inch swing over the bed and 40 inches between centers, it accommodates a wide range of workpieces. The spindle bore measures 1.57 inches, supporting bar stock up to this diameter, and is powered by a robust 5 HP motor, delivering spindle speeds from 60 to 2,400 RPM across three ranges for optimal material removal and finish. The lathe is equipped with a Camlock D1-4 spindle nose for secure chuck mounting and a tailstock with 1.575 inches of quill travel and an MT#3 taper for accurate centering. Rapid traverse rates of 100 IPM on both X and Z axes ensure efficient tool positioning, while the cross slide offers 8 inches of travel for extensive tooling flexibility. The machine operates on 220V, three-phase, 60 Hz power and weighs approximately 1,800 lbs, providing stable performance during heavy-duty operations. Swing over the cross slide is 7 inches, allowing for larger diameter work near the tool post. The TRL 1440EX features hardened and ground bedways, precision ground ballscrews, electronic handwheels, and a ProtoTRAK ELX CNC control for intuitive programming and operation. This lathe is ideal for shops requiring both manual and automated turning, offering reliability, accuracy, and ease of use in a compact, heavy-duty design.
