VANTAGE LC-35 MANUAL LATHE

The VANTAGE LC-35 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for large-scale turning applications in demanding industrial environments. This machine features a 35-inch swing over bed capacity, enabling the machining of substantial workpieces, with an impressive 48-foot distance between centers for extended turning operations. The robust flat-bed box-way construction provides exceptional rigidity and precision, supported by TIMKEN taper roller bearings in the headstock for reliable performance during extended operations and deep cuts. Equipped with 45 horsepower, the LC-35 delivers the power necessary for heavy-duty turning of large components such as oversized rollers, shafts, and heavy housings. The 20-inch swing over cross slide accommodates larger tool configurations and workpiece dimensions. The machine is controlled via CNC (FANUC 18T) integration, offering programmable automation capabilities while maintaining the robustness of traditional manual lathe construction. The LC-35 is purpose-built for sectors including heavy equipment manufacturing, energy production, and large-part fabrication. Its sturdy mechanics and generous swing size ensure consistent precision and reliability, even during demanding machining tasks. The machine supports extended bed lengths and integrates optional accessories such as tailstocks, steady rests, follow rests, and chip conveyors to enhance operational efficiency and versatility. This model represents Vantage Machine Tools' specialization in large, heavy-duty turning centers, manufactured at their state-of-the-art Taiwan facility since 1984. The LC-35 combines traditional lathe durability with modern CNC capabilities, making it an ideal solution for workshops focused on precision heavy-turning applications requiring both strength and controlled automation.
