TRIMA CU1032 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The TRIMA CU1032 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations on large workpieces. With a swing capacity of 40.55 inches, this machine accommodates substantial diameters for both roughing and finishing work. The extended center distance of 236.22 inches enables machining of lengthy components, making it ideal for shaft work, spindle production, and similar applications requiring significant between-centers capacity. The spindle bore diameter of 6.02 inches provides ample through-hole capability for bar stock work and reduces the need for workpiece reversal during extended production runs. Powered by a 20.12 HP motor, the lathe delivers sufficient torque for demanding cutting operations across various materials. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM, the machine prioritizes power and cutting force over high-speed finishing, making it well-suited for heavy stock removal and working with larger diameters. The manual operation allows skilled machinists complete control over feed rates and cutting parameters, enabling optimization for specific material properties and surface finish requirements. This lathe represents a traditional, rigid platform typical of production environments requiring dependable performance on medium to large-scale workpieces. Its combination of substantial swing, extended center distance, and powerful drive system makes it a versatile choice for job shops and manufacturing facilities handling diverse turning tasks with emphasis on durability and consistent accuracy.
