ZMMBG CU 1000 X 3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 1000 X 3000 Manual Lathe is a robust, heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision turning and machining of large workpieces. With a swing over bed of 42.3 inches (1074 mm), it accommodates substantial diameters, while the distance between centers of 118.1 inches (3000 mm) enables the machining of long components. The lathe features a large spindle bore of 6.1 inches (155 mm), allowing for the passage of bar stock or the use of specialized tooling for internal operations. Built with a rigid flat bed construction, the machine ensures high stability and accuracy during heavy cutting operations. The main spindle is engineered for durability and smooth operation, supporting a wide range of turning, facing, threading, and boring tasks. The lathe’s substantial weight of 205,000 pounds (93,000 kg) contributes to vibration damping and overall rigidity, essential for maintaining tight tolerances and surface finish quality. Designed for manual operation, the machine provides direct control over feeds and speeds, making it suitable for both batch production and custom machining applications. The control layout is intuitive, with accessible handwheels and levers for precise adjustment of the carriage and cross slide. The tailstock is equipped with a robust quill and locking mechanism for secure workholding and support during turning. This lathe is ideal for heavy industrial environments, including foundries, repair shops, and large-scale manufacturing facilities, where reliability, capacity, and precision are critical. Its construction and specifications make it well-suited for machining large shafts, rolls, and other oversized components.
