ZMMBG CU 400MRD X 4000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 400MRD X 4000 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for versatile metal turning and threading operations in industrial settings. This robust machine features a 17.32-inch swing over bed, accommodating substantial workpieces, paired with an impressive 157.48-inch distance between centers for extended turning lengths. The 2.83-inch spindle bore accepts standard tooling, while the 9.45-inch swing over cross slide enables efficient radial positioning. Powered by a 14.75 HP motor, the lathe delivers consistent performance with a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, facilitating both roughing and finishing operations across diverse materials. Built to European industrial standards with full shielding for operator safety, this machine incorporates 120 programmable feeds and speeds for precision work. The manual transmission system provides direct operator control, while the quick-change toolpost and 3-jaw chuck ensure rapid setup and efficient tool changes. Variable spindle speeds enable optimized cutting conditions for different materials and applications. Threading capabilities include 64 thread options spanning metric (0.5-120mm), inch (60-1/4 TPI), and modular ranges (0.125-30), making it suitable for complex job shop requirements. The integrated coolant system maintains temperature control during extended operations. With its combination of power, precision, and manual control flexibility, this lathe excels in prototype development, small-batch production, and specialized manufacturing environments requiring skilled operator input.
