Technical Description

The ZMM Sliven CU400 manual lathe is a robust metalworking machine featuring a 17.32-inch swing over bed and centers measuring 78.74 inches, allowing machining of long and sizable workpieces. It is powered by a 10.06 HP motor driving the spindle at speeds up to 2,000 RPM, which, combined with its 2.36-inch spindle bore, supports a variety of machining operations including turning, threading, drilling, and taper machining. The lathe offers a 9.06-inch swing over the cross slide, facilitating precise work on smaller diameters directly above the slide. Its substantial dimensions of 135.24 x 46.65 x 50.55 inches and weight of approximately 5,643 lbs ensure stability and vibration resistance during heavy-duty machining. The machine includes a sturdy bed design with a width of 400 mm (approx. 15.75 inches), supporting reliable cutting performance. The spindle features multiple speed ranges and the headstock accommodates DIN 55027 size 8 spindle taper for tooling versatility. Additional features often integrated include a 3-jaw chuck (Ø 250 mm), a Morse 5 taper tailstock quill, digital readouts, and a cooling system with electro-pump for enhanced operational control and efficiency. These specifications make the ZMM SLIVEN CU400 a versatile and dependable lathe for medium to large-scale precision metalworking applications. The machine’s rigidity and range of speeds make it suitable for machining external and internal cylindrical surfaces, threads, and drill holes, supporting diverse manufacturing needs.
