ZMMBG CU 400M X 4000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 400M X 4000 is a manual universal lathe designed for heavy-duty machining with a maximum swing over bed of 440 mm (17.32 inches) and a swinging capacity over the cross slide of 240 mm (9.45 inches). It features a generous distance between centers of 4000 mm (157.48 inches) allowing for long workpieces. The spindle bore measures 72 mm (approximately 2.83 inches), accommodating large-diameter materials. The lathe’s spindle is driven by a powerful 7.5 kW (approximately 10.06 HP) motor with a maximum spindle speed of 2000 RPM, supported by 21 spindle speed settings enabling precise control over machining operations. The bed width is 400 mm, providing robust structural support, and the machine is constructed with hardened and ground bedways to ensure accuracy and durability. Feeding mechanisms provide multiple feed rates and thread cutting options with up to 64 thread profiles. The tailstock offers 230 mm of quill travel with lateral adjustment for precise workpiece support. Additional standard features include 3- and 4-jaw chucks (250 mm and 400 mm diameters), multiple tool holders, and optional digital readout for enhanced machining precision. The lathe weighs approximately 2900–3000 kg, reflecting its solid build. Power supply requirements are three-phase 400V at 50 Hz. This lathe is ideal for a wide range of turning and threading applications on medium to large-sized workpieces, commonly used in metalworking workshops and manufacturing environments. Its extensive capabilities make it suitable for both roughing and finishing tasks.
