ROMI UT-50/I MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ROMI UT-50/I is an extra-heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for large-scale precision turning operations. Featuring a maximum swing over bedways of 66.54 inches and an impressive 276-inch distance between centers, this machine accommodates substantial workpieces with a 51-inch chuck diameter and 18-inch spindle diameter on the front bearing. The lathe delivers 111.9 kW of power with a spindle speed range of 0.7 to 144 RPM, making it ideal for heavy rough cuts on large-diameter stock. The rigid construction includes a 65-inch bed width and 34.75-inch bed height, weighing approximately 180,800 pounds without the steady rest. Cross-slide travel capacity reaches 22 inches in continuous cutting, while the tailstock quill offers 12 inches of traverse with a 14.49-inch diameter. Longitudinal and cross feeds operate at 0.2 to 20 IPM, with rapid traverse capabilities reaching 200 IPM longitudinal and 50 IPM cross. The integrated steady rest accommodates workpiece diameters between 18 and 39 inches, supporting maximum workpiece weights of 110,230 pounds at 10 RPM without steady rest assistance. This machine represents the ROMI UT series philosophy of combining monoblock bed construction with exceptional stiffness and stability for demanding production environments requiring reliable, precise turning of heavy components.
