SOMAB OPTIMAB 900/2500 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This heavy-duty CNC lathe represents a robust industrial turning solution designed for large-scale machining operations. With a maximum swing of 36.61 inches over the bed, the machine accommodates substantial workpieces, while its impressive machining length of 98.43 inches enables extended part production and complex turning sequences. The 15.75-inch chuck provides secure workholding for a wide range of diameters, ensuring consistent clamping force throughout high-demand cutting operations. Powered by a 60.3 horsepower spindle motor, this lathe delivers exceptional torque and cutting capability for heavy-duty applications. The maximum spindle speed of 1,300 RPM is optimized for large-diameter turning operations, allowing efficient material removal on cast iron, steel, and other demanding workpieces. The three-axis CNC control system enables precise dimensional accuracy and repeatability, facilitating complex contoured profiles and multi-axis simultaneous machining. At 18,739.2 pounds, the substantial mass provides superior rigidity and stability during aggressive cutting operations, minimizing vibration and thermal deformation. This weight distribution enhances precision and extends tool life while supporting continuous production cycles. The machine's construction incorporates precision spindle bearings and hardened guide surfaces typical of industrial turning centers, ensuring long-term accuracy maintenance. This lathe is ideally suited for job shops, manufacturing facilities, and contractors requiring versatile heavy-duty turning capabilities with CNC automation. Its combination of large swing capacity, extended bed length, and powerful spindle makes it suitable for producing large shafts, hubs, flanges, and other critical components requiring precision and repeatability.
