ZMMBG CU 500M X 1500 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 500M X 1500 is a precision manual lathe engineered for general-purpose turning and threading operations. This Bulgarian-manufactured machine features a 500mm swing over bed, translating to approximately 19.69 inches of maximum workpiece diameter capacity. With a center-to-center distance of 1500mm (59.06 inches), it accommodates substantial workpiece lengths, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy production runs. The lathe delivers a 2000 RPM maximum spindle speed powered by a 7.5 kW (10.06 HP) motor, providing adequate torque for rigid cutting operations. The spindle bore diameter of 80mm (2.83 inches) accepts metric taper attachments, specifically an 80M taper compatible with standard tooling. A 300mm swing over the cross slide (11.81 inches) enables precise radial cutting operations. The machine incorporates 120 selectable longitudinal and transverse feed rates, ranging from 0.04-12mm/rev and 0.02-6mm/rev respectively, alongside 64 threading options covering metric (0.5-120mm), Whitworth (60-1/4 TPI), modular (0.125-30), and diametral pitch (240-1 DP) standards. The tailstock features a Morse #5 taper with 230mm quill travel and 90mm quill diameter for center and drilling operations. Equipment includes a manual book, CE conformance documentation, a 250mm Bison chuck, and comprehensive safety guards. Weighing approximately 2820kg, the machine dimensions are 3100mm length × 1250mm width × 1400mm height, designed for shop floor installation with leveling bolts for optimal precision alignment.
