RAVI BANKA 43 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The RAVI BANKA 43 Manual Lathe is a medium-duty all-geared lathe machine designed for precision and durability in industrial applications. It features a swing of 16.9 inches (430 mm) over the bed and 10.6 inches (270 mm) over the cross slide, allowing for versatile turning operations on a wide range of workpieces. The distance between centers is 98.1 inches (2500 mm), supporting long workpiece machining. The machine is equipped with a robust 1.96-inch (52 mm) spindle bore, enabling the passage of larger bars for through-hole turning. Powered by a 2.3 HP motor, it delivers reliable performance for cutting, facing, knurling, and deformation tasks. The spindle speed is set at 60 RPM, optimized for heavy-duty and high-precision work. The lathe incorporates a semi-universal gearbox, providing a wide range of feed and thread options for both metric and imperial standards, ensuring flexibility in production. The hardened and ground bedways, up to 400 BHN, guarantee long-term accuracy and smooth carriage movement, while the Turcite B anti-friction material on the carriage ways enhances durability and reduces wear. The headstock is constructed with a box-type design, featuring hardened and ground gears and a precision spindle supported by super-precision roller and ball bearings for maximum rigidity and minimal vibration. The machine weighs 3307.0 lbs (1500 kg), ensuring stability during operation. With its high precision, durable design, and easy operation, the RAVI BANKA 43 Manual Lathe is ideal for workshops and manufacturing environments requiring consistent, high-quality machining results.
