SMTCL CW6180B MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SMTCL CW6180B Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty precision machine designed for metal turning applications. It features a **maximum swing over bed of 31.4 inches (800 mm)** and a **spindle bore diameter of 4.1 inches (104 mm)**, accommodating workpieces with a substantial diameter. The machine provides a **swing over cross slide of approximately 18.9 inches (480 mm)**, enabling operations on large parts. Powered by a robust **14.8 horsepower (11 kW) motor**, it offers a spindle speed range from **5.4 to 720 rpm** through 18 speed steps, ensuring versatility for different machining tasks. The lathe supports a **bed width of 600 mm**, providing structural rigidity and stability. The distance between centers can be configured from **1500 to 6000 mm**, allowing machining of long workpieces. The tailstock has a quill travel of 250 mm with a Morse taper #5, facilitating precise support for extended workpieces. It features 64 longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.06 to 24.3 mm/rev, and a cross-feed range up to 0.76 mm/rev. The machine supports multiple threading options, including metric, imperial, and module threads. Constructed with a composite bed structure combining box-type and diagonal bar designs, the lathe achieves enhanced rigidity and vibration resistance, critical for heavy cutting and accuracy. Hydraulic controls manage spindle rotation direction and braking, with both hand and foot brake options for safety and operational flexibility. Rapid traverse rates reach 4000 mm/min, improving productivity. The overall machine dimensions are approximately 3660 mm by 1450 mm by 1630 mm, weighing around 4900 kg. It is CE and ISO certified, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
