UNIVERSAL CQ6280C/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The UNIVERSAL CQ6280C/3000 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty industrial machine designed for precision metal machining. It features a substantial swing capacity of 31.5 inches over the bed and 22 inches over the cross slide, facilitating large diameter workpieces. The lathe supports a center distance of 118.1 inches, allowing for machining of long parts up to 3000 mm. The spindle has a bore diameter of 4.0 inches (105 mm), accommodating sizable bar stock. Powered by a robust 10.1 HP motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 1400 RPM across multiple stepped ranges. This machine is built with a horizontal bed type, and its construction is robust, weighing approximately 9,848 lbs and measuring 149.6 x 65.7 x 76.8 inches. The lathe includes manual controls with four tool post stations, enhancing versatility for different cutting operations. Its bed width of around 400 mm ensures stability during heavy machining. The CQ6280C/3000 supports machining of medium to heavy-duty workpieces, with a max workpiece weight capacity estimated near 700-800 kg depending on configuration. This lathe is made for both roughing and finishing operations in metalworking shops, offering stable accuracy, reliability, and ease of maintenance. The spindle nose typically matches industry standards for tooling compatibility such as MT5 taper, and the lathe body supports a rigid frame design to minimize vibrations. It suits machining tasks involving turning, threading, facing, and boring, making it a universal lathe choice for metal fabrication industries.
