ZMM SLIVEN C400TM MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMM Sliven C400TM Manual Lathe is a robust and precise machine tool designed for versatile turning operations. It features a swing of 15.75 inches (400 mm) over the bed and a distance between centers of 39.37 inches (1,000 mm), allowing the machining of moderately sized workpieces. The lathe's spindle has a bore diameter of 2.05 inches (52 mm) and supports up to 2,240 RPM, powered by a 5.36 HP (4 kW) motor. Its swing over the cross slide is 9.25 inches (235 mm), enabling work on smaller diameters with fine control. Constructed with a heavy, ribbed gray cast-iron bed for rigidity and vibration damping, the machine includes double prismatic, induction-hardened, and precision-ground guideways for accurate movement. The headstock contains 12 spindle speeds available via gear selection, supporting a wide speed range from 50 to 2,240 RPM. The feed gearbox delivers 80 feed options for longitudinal and cross feeds, facilitating various threading capabilities, including metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch (DP) threads across a broad range. The carriage assembly provides 235 mm cross-slide travel and a 110 mm top-slide travel, complemented by a tailstock with a 60 mm diameter quill, Morse taper No. 4, and 100 mm quill travel. The machine measures approximately 92.5 x 38.6 x 52.4 inches and weighs 3,748 lbs (1,700 kg), making it a stable and reliable lathe for manual precision turning tasks in industrial or workshop environments.
