TRIMA CU500MRD MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The TRIMA CU500MRD manual lathe is a robust, precision machine designed for versatile turning operations. It features a swing capacity of 19.69 inches (500 mm) over the bed, enabling the machining of sizable workpieces. The distance between centers extends to 196.85 inches (approximately 5000 mm available in various lengths), accommodating long parts. The spindle bore is 2.83 inches (72 mm), allowing for the passage of larger stock, enhancing capability for internal machining. Powered by a 10.06 HP (approximately 11 kW) motor, the lathe achieves speeds up to 2,000 RPM with variable speed control in three ranges, offering flexibility for diverse materials and finishing requirements. The machine includes a wide (400 mm) rigid bed with precision ground, induction-hardened V-guides for stability and accuracy during operation. It supports metric, inch, module, and diametral-pitch threading, backed by 120 feed options allowing longitudinal and cross-feed variations suitable for detailed work. The lathe is equipped with a 3-jaw chuck (Ø 250 mm), quick change tool post, full-length rear splash guard, and coolant system for improved chip control and operator safety. Additional features include a spindle taper conforming to DIN standard 80 M, tailstock with quick-release and quill travel, and digital readout options for position accuracy. Safety elements like chuck guards and toolholder protection ensure compliance with CE standards. The TRIMA CU500MRD is engineered for manual, variable-speed machining tasks in metalworking environments demanding reliability, precision, and flexibility.
