WEILER COMMODOR 230 AC MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The WEILER Commodor 230 AC is a robust manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a swing over bed of 18.7 inches (475 mm) and a distance between centers of 39.4 inches (1000 mm), this lathe accommodates large workpieces with ease. The center height is 230 mm, resulting in a maximum workpiece diameter of 475 mm over the bed and 10.6 inches (270 mm) over the cross slide, allowing flexibility for various turning tasks. The lathe is powered by a 14.8 HP (11 kW) main drive motor, delivering ample torque for efficient machining of both soft and hard materials. The spindle speed ranges up to 2,000 RPM, providing optimal cutting conditions for a wide range of applications, from heavy-duty roughing to fine finishing. The spindle bore measures 2.2 inches (56 mm), enabling the processing of long bar stock or hollow workpieces. The machine is equipped with a constant speed motor and two flange-mounted power shift stages, ensuring smooth and reliable operation during speed changes without interrupting the motor. High-precision double taper roller bearings at the front and adjustable double-row cylindrical roller bearings at the rear guarantee excellent surface finishes and long-term accuracy. The Commodor 230 AC also features a holding brake, automatic handwheel release, and a lead screw/feed rod cover for enhanced safety and convenience. Built to DIN 8605 standards for toolmakers’ accuracy, this lathe combines durability, precision, and versatility, making it suitable for both batch production and custom machining tasks.
