SPARK CKA6185/8000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SPARK CKA6185/8000 is a heavy-duty horizontal CNC lathe engineered for precision metalworking in both small-batch and mass production environments. Featuring a maximum swing diameter of 850mm (33.46 inches) over the bed and 510mm over the carriage, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 4000kg in weight. The 8000mm center distance configuration provides an extended 5750mm maximum processing length, enabling the turning of large components with precision. The lathe is equipped with a robust Siemens CNC control system coupled with a 15kW spindle motor delivering 800 RPM maximum speed. The 100mm spindle bore (3.94 inches) accepts A2-11 nose taper tooling, while the stepless spindle speed range of 5-800 RPM offers flexibility across diverse machining applications. Rapid traverse rates of 6000mm/min on the main axis and 4000mm/min on the auxiliary axis ensure efficient cycle times. The machine incorporates a 4-station vertical-axis turret toolpost with 32mm x 32mm tool shanks, optimizing tool changing efficiency. The 120mm tailstock quill with MT6 taper provides reliable workholding support, complemented by a maximum quill travel of 250mm. Manual gear-shifting transmission enables operator control over spindle engagement. The 600mm lathe bed width ensures rigid construction for sustained accuracy during demanding operations, making this machine ideal for precision cylindrical and facing operations on substantial workpieces.
