ZMMBG CU 1250RD X 9000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 1250RD X 9000 is a manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty machining with a maximum swing over the bed of 51.97 inches and a long distance between centers of 354.33 inches, enabling it to handle large workpieces. It features a robust spindle bore of 6.10 inches for accommodating substantial bar stock, driven by a powerful 40.36 HP motor providing speeds up to 1,000 RPM. The swing over the cross slide measures 37.01 inches, allowing machining close to the tool post with adequate clearance. The lathe integrates a manual transmission with four continuous variable gear speed steps, supporting precise spindle speed control. The machine bed width is approximately 700 mm (27.6 inches), ensuring stable support and vibration resistance during operation. It is equipped with a quick change tool post, typically Amestra style, with multiple tool holder options, a large 3-jaw chuck (Bison 3204/DIN6350) with a 500 mm diameter for secure workholding, and a tailstock with a 125 mm quill diameter tapering to 6 MK for precise positioning of tooling or support. Cross slide travel is around 685 mm, and the top slide travel is approximately 270 mm for versatile tool movement. Safety features include guards for the chuck and toolholder, coolant equipment, lead screw and shaft protection, and a CE-compliant design. The lathe also incorporates a 3-axis digital readout system (optionally FAGOR), facilitating accurate feed and thread cutting with 160 feeds, and thread cutting capabilities across metric, inch, module, and DP ranges. Overall, this lathe is suitable for large-scale, precise manual turning operations in industrial settings.
