ZMMBG CU 500M X 5000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 500M x 5000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty conventional lathe designed for precise machining with a maximum swing over the bed of 500 mm (19.69 inches) and a center height of 250 mm. It features a robust spindle bore of approximately 72 mm (2.83 inches) and offers a center distance of 5000 mm (196.85 inches), allowing for long workpiece machining. Driven by a 10.06 HP (about 7.5 kW) motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 2000 RPM, providing versatile spindle speed steps suitable for varied turning operations. The machine provides a swing over cross slide of approximately 300 mm (11.81 inches), ensuring effective cutting capacity closer to the tool slide. The lathe construction includes a wide, rigid bed for stability under heavy cuts, with precision feed systems enabling longitudinal and cross feeds at fine increments. It supports a broad thread cutting range including metric, inch, and module threads, catering to diverse threading requirements. The tool carriage is equipped with a quick-change tool post and often incorporates digital readouts for positioning accuracy. The tailstock features quick-release and taper options for drilling and support operations. Safety features include guards for chuck and toolholder, full splash guards, and protection for leadscrew and shafts. This lathe is suitable for workshops needing reliable manual turning of large, long shafts with precise control over feeds and speeds, backed by CE-compliant build quality standards. Overall, the ZMMBG CU 500M x 5000 is a versatile, manually operated lathe ideal for heavy industrial turning tasks demanding long bed capacity and consistent mechanical performance.
