SOUND SGL 40 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SOUND SGL 40 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for general-purpose machining applications across diverse industrial sectors. This machine features a 35.4-inch swing capacity, enabling operators to accommodate workpieces up to approximately 17.7 inches in diameter. With a center distance of 157.5 inches, the lathe provides extensive longitudinal machining capability, making it suitable for extended shaft work and production of longer components. The spindle bore measures 3.9 inches, facilitating secure workholding for medium-sized cylindrical parts. The LC1340G-series design incorporates a centrally-driven speed-changing mechanism for simplified operation and maintenance. The machine bed utilizes high-strength cast iron with finish-ground guide faces post-quenching, ensuring durability and dimensional stability during extended service. The detachable gap bed design extends the practical machining envelope beyond standard configurations, accommodating specialized geometries and larger workpiece diameters. Standard capabilities include turning cylindrical surfaces, taper cuts, threading operations (metric, inch, and module formats), drilling, reaming, and groove machining. The lathe operates at 220V/440V, three-phase AC supply, with emergency stop provisions and integrated safety mechanisms. Designed for batch and single-part production across machinery, electronics, instrumentation, and light industrial sectors, the SOUND SGL 40 combines functional versatility with a compact footprint, delivering reliable performance for small-to-medium production runs and prototype development.
