VANTAGE BN-60 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Vantage BN-60 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for large-scale industrial turning operations and oilfield applications. Featuring a 50-inch swing capacity with 480 inches of center distance, this machine accommodates exceptionally long workpieces and large-diameter components. The 43-inch swing over cross slide provides substantial clearance for complex part geometries and multi-step machining sequences. Powered by a robust 45-horsepower main motor, the BN-60 delivers consistent cutting performance across demanding production requirements. The lathe incorporates a FANUC 18T CNC control system, enabling programmable operation and precision repeatability despite its manual lathe classification. The machine features a 4-range geared headstock with Timken taper roller spindle bearings, providing superior rigidity and extended service life. Available spindle configurations range from 6 to 30 inches in bore diameter with corresponding A2-series nose tapers, accommodating various chuck and workholding solutions. The machine is constructed with box-way bed design for enhanced stability and accuracy during heavy interrupted cuts. The BN-60 represents Vantage's specialization in large, precision oilfield lathes, combining manual operation flexibility with CNC automation capabilities. Standard features include optional programmable tailstock, hydraulic steady rests, and live tool turrets with C-axis functionality. This configuration makes the BN-60 ideal for production shops requiring versatile, high-capacity turning capability for oil country tubular goods, large shafts, and specialized industrial components.
