WEISS MACHINERY WL2500D MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The WEISS MACHINERY WL2500D is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for high-precision industrial metalworking applications. Featuring an impressive 98.43-inch swing diameter and 629.92-inch center distance, this machine accommodates large workpieces for extended turning operations. The spindle bore measures 3.35 inches, with an 84.65-inch swing over the cross slide, providing substantial clearance for complex component machining. The WL2500D employs a two-support spindle structure driven by a direct current motor, delivering stepless speed regulation ranging from 0.8 to 160 rpm. This broad speed range enables optimal cutting parameters across various materials and tool configurations. The rigid rectangular three-guide rail bed construction ensures exceptional stability and accuracy during extended production runs. This universal machine tool accommodates both high-speed steel and hard alloy cutting tools, making it suitable for diverse manufacturing operations including roughing, finishing, threading, and specialized turning tasks. The manual control configuration allows experienced operators maximum precision and control over machining parameters. Key design features include an induction-hardened and precision-ground bedway that maintains dimensional accuracy, adjustable gibs for slideway compensation, and a tailstock assembly for center support during between-center work. The separate oil circulation system ensures continuous lubrication of critical components during operation, extending machine longevity and maintaining consistent performance standards. The WL2500D represents a robust solution for job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring dependable, accurate turning capacity for medium to large-scale production components.
