Technical Description
The SAN SHING SHG-4000 Manual Lathe is a robust, heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision turning and machining of large workpieces. With a swing over bed of 45.67 inches (1,160 mm) and a distance between centers of 157.48 inches (4,000 mm), this lathe is well-suited for handling long and sizable components in industrial applications. The spindle bore measures 6.02 inches (153 mm), allowing for the passage of large-diameter bars or shafts, enhancing its versatility in production environments. Powered by a 19.97 HP (14.9 kW) motor, the SHG-4000 delivers consistent performance and torque, supporting demanding machining tasks. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 320 RPM, providing optimal cutting conditions for a wide range of materials, including steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The swing over cross slide is 33.46 inches (850 mm), offering ample clearance for complex turning operations and tooling setups. Constructed with a high-strength cast iron bed, the lathe ensures excellent rigidity, vibration damping, and long-term accuracy. The bed’s box-type structure and high tensile design further enhance its durability and suitability for heavy cutting. The SHG-4000 features manual controls, making it ideal for shops requiring hands-on operation and flexibility. Its robust build, combined with precise engineering, makes it a reliable choice for heavy-duty turning, facing, threading, and boring operations in manufacturing, repair, and maintenance settings.
