Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 500MRD X 5000 is a robust manual lathe designed for precision metal turning with a swing over bed of 19.69 inches (500 mm) and a distance between centers of 196.85 inches (5000 mm), making it suitable for machining long workpieces. It features a spindle bore diameter of 2.83 inches (75 mm) allowing accommodation of larger bars. The lathe is powered by a 14.75 HP (11 kW) motor, delivering spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM with three-step variable speed control for optimized cutting conditions. The swing over cross slide measures 11.81 inches (300 mm), providing ample clearance for tooling and work diameter. Key operational components include a quick-change toolpost capable of holding four tools, a 3-jaw chuck with a 250 mm diameter, and a spindle nose conforming to DIN 55027 standard, enabling versatile tooling and accessories compatibility. The machine supports extensive feed rates with 120 selectable feeds and threading capabilities covering metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch ranges. It incorporates digital readout with constant surface speed (CSS) control for enhanced accuracy. Additional features include a longitudinal stop, coolant system, tailstock with quick-release quill taper 5 MK and 230 mm travel, full-length rear splash guard, and safety protections for chuck and toolholder. The lathe weighs approximately 2,950 kg and includes leveling bolts for stable installation. This manual lathe combines heavy-duty capacity with precision capabilities, making it well-suited for medium to large-scale metal turning and machining applications.
