ZMMBG CU 1000 X 5000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 1000 X 5000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for large-scale turning operations and precision machining tasks. This machine features an impressive swing capacity of 42.91 inches over the bed, enabling the machining of substantial workpieces with diameters up to approximately 86 inches when accounting for full rotation. The extended center distance of 196.85 inches accommodates lengthy workpieces, making this lathe suitable for extended shaft work, spindles, and similar components requiring significant axial length. The spindle bore diameter of 6.10 inches provides substantial accommodation for through-spindle work and allows for the integration of various tooling systems and work-holding devices. Powered by a robust 29.76 horsepower main motor, this lathe delivers the necessary torque and cutting force for heavy material removal and challenging machining operations across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 1,250 RPM, optimized for large-diameter workpieces and heavy interrupted cuts rather than high-speed finishing operations. The cross-slide travel of 27.17 inches permits substantial radial tool movement for facing, grooving, and diameter reduction operations. As a manual machine, it requires operator skill and precision for setup and execution, offering flexibility in tool selection and machining strategies. The CU 1000 series represents an industrial-grade lathe suitable for job shops, manufacturing facilities, and specialized applications requiring substantial workholding capacity and power delivery for demanding production environments.
