ROMI ES-40B-5 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ROMI ES-40B-5 is a powerful manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty machining with exceptional flexibility and productivity. It features a robust 15 HP asynchronous AC motor with an electromagnetic safety brake, delivering up to 1,180 RPM across 18 speed settings to accommodate diverse machining tasks. The lathe provides a maximum swing of 32.3 inches and a swing over the cross slide of 25.2 inches, allowing it to handle workpieces up to 640 mm (25.2 inches) in diameter. Its centers are spaced at 196.9 inches, enabling machining of exceptionally long parts. The spindle bore diameter is 2.6 inches (65 mm) with a spindle nose of ASA L1 and a reduction sleeve taper MT-5 for enhanced tool compatibility. The machine’s bed is fabricated with a gap design available in lengths up to 5 meters, providing flexibility for various workpiece lengths. The ES-40B-5 features hardened, ground, and dynamically balanced headstock gears and shafts with pressure lubrication to minimize wear and ensure long service life. Standard equipment includes an 8-position square tool post mounted on a rotating base, manual lubrication pumps for bed and cross slide guideways, a chuck guard, chip pan, tailstock with a manually operated, graduated quill, and comprehensive safety systems compliant with NR-12 standards. The lathe’s rigid housing and efficient transmission system optimize performance by reducing vibration and noise, making it suitable for tool room, production, and maintenance applications requiring high torque and precision.
