TRIMA CU500M MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The TRIMA CU500M manual lathe features a robust design with a swing capacity of 19.69 inches (500 mm) and a maximum distance between centers of 196.85 inches (5000 mm available as option), supporting versatile turning operations. Its spindle bore diameter is 2.83 inches (72 mm), accommodating large-diameter workpieces. Powered by a 10.06 HP (7.5–11 kW) motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM across 21 stepped ranges, allowing precise control for varied machining requirements. The lathe boasts 120 feed options for longitudinal and cross feeds, with longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.04 to 12 mm per revolution and cross feed rates from 0.02 to 6 mm per revolution, enabling fine adjustments in cutting. The machine provides compatibility with a wide range of threading options, covering metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch threads. Structurally, it features a 400 mm wide bed, 300 mm swing over the cross slide, and effective spindle taper metric 80 M for tool mounting. Additional standard equipment includes a quick-change toolpost with multiple holders, 3-jaw chuck (Ø 250 mm), spindle dead center, and a quick release tailstock. Safety and operational convenience are addressed through features like a full-length rear splash guard, chuck guard, leadscrew protection, low-voltage lamp, and CE conformity. Its solid build supports applications in general turning, threading, and precision machining tasks, suitable for workshops requiring a versatile and reliable manual lathe. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 3100 mm in length, 1250 mm in width, and 1400 mm in height, weighing around 2820 kg. This ensures stability and vibration damping for quality finishes.
