UPETROM SN1600X6000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The UPETROM SN1600X6000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for large-scale turning and machining operations. With a swing capacity of 63.0 inches, this lathe can accommodate substantial workpieces, making it suitable for industrial production environments requiring precision metalworking on oversized components. The extended center distance of 236.2 inches enables operators to work on extended cylindrical workpieces, providing exceptional versatility for lengthy shaft manufacturing, spindle work, and similar applications demanding significant between-centers capacity. This manual lathe represents robust, conventional machine tool technology with mechanical control systems that afford operators direct, tactile command over machining parameters. The substantial swing dimension allows for turning diameters up to 126 inches over the bed ways, while the extended bed length accommodates workpiece lengths approaching 20 feet or greater. The machine's construction emphasizes rigidity and durability, typical of industrial-grade lathes engineered for demanding production schedules and heavy material removal rates. The UPETROM SN1600X6000 is particularly suited for job shops, fabrication facilities, and manufacturing operations handling large-diameter forgings, castings, and steel workpieces. Its manual operation provides operators with intuitive control over feed rates, cutting speeds, and tool positioning, eliminating dependency on automated systems while maintaining consistent precision. The machine's proven design and substantial mass contribute to vibration dampening and thermal stability during extended machining sessions, ensuring dimensional accuracy and extended tool life during demanding turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
