TOS CELAKOVICE SU 63H/8000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The TOS CELAKOVICE SU 63H/8000 is a robust manual universal center lathe engineered for heavy-duty roughing, finishing, thread cutting, and boring operations on shafts and flange components. It features a **swing over bed of 25.8 inches (630 mm)** and an impressive **distance between centers of 315 inches (8000 mm)**, enabling machining of very long workpieces. The **spindle bore measures 3.2 inches (82 mm)**, accommodating sizable workpieces and tooling. Its **24.8 HP (approximately 18.5 kW) motor** drives the spindle at speeds up to **1,120 RPM**, offering flexibility for various metal cutting tasks. The machine bed is constructed for rigidity, with hardened and ground guide surfaces ensuring precision and minimal vibration during operation. The cross-slide and carriage surfaces are treated with Turcite B for smooth motion, reducing jerks and enabling fine feed control. The lathe supports single-piece or small batch production, handling workpieces up to considerable weight with sturdy centers and steady rests. Tailstock and tooling adaptations allow threading, boring, taper turning, and shaping of complex profiles. This lathe's design prioritizes durability and versatility for industrial environments, suitable for machining large, heavy parts requiring high accuracy. It supports manual operation, making it ideal for specialized jobs where CNC machines are not necessary or cost-effective. The TOS SU 63H/8000 remains a reliable choice for workshops focused on heavy-duty conventional turning tasks with long workpieces.
