VANTAGE KAN-80 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The VANTAGE KAN-80 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for demanding turning applications in oilfield and industrial manufacturing environments. This machine features an impressive 79.9-inch swing over bed and 480-inch distance between centers, accommodating exceptionally large and long components such as oilfield shafts, pipe work, and heavy industrial parts. The lathe incorporates a robust cast bed design with wide box ways providing maximum stability and rigidity under substantial cutting loads. With a 60-inch swing over cross-slide and 100-horsepower motor, the KAN-80 delivers the torque and capacity necessary for aggressive stock removal and precision finishing operations. The machine is equipped with a FANUC 18T CNC control system, enabling programmable automation while maintaining the reliability of traditional lathe construction. Timken taper roller bearings in the headstock ensure consistent spindle performance and extended service life. The geared transmission system provides multiple speed ranges optimized for various material conditions and cutting requirements. This combination of massive bed construction, extended working envelope, and precision CNC control makes the VANTAGE KAN-80 ideal for job shops and production facilities requiring large work capacity with repeatable accuracy. The machine represents Vantage Machine Tools' expertise in manufacturing heavy-duty turning centers since 1984, with production facilities employing specialized design engineers and skilled craftsmen.
