ZMMBG CU 500MT X 4000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 500MT X 4000 is a manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty and precision turning tasks. It features a 19.69-inch (500 mm) swing over bed and a 157.48-inch (4000 mm) distance between centers, making it suitable for large workpieces. The spindle bore measures 4.06 inches (103 mm), allowing for substantial material throughput. Powered by a 10.06 HP (7.5 kW) motor, the lathe operates at speeds up to 1,400 RPM with a manual transmission system. The swing over the cross slide is 11.81 inches (300 mm), providing flexibility for various turning operations. Key structural elements include a robust 400 mm wide bed that ensures stability and durability during machining. The lathe supports a spindle nose compatible with DIN 55027 No. 8 standards and employs an 80 M metric spindle taper. The carriage offers precise control with longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.04 to 12 mm per revolution and cross feeds from 0.02 to 6 mm per revolution, supporting a broad range of threading operations (metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch threads). Additional features often include quick-change tool posts, various chuck options, full-length splash guards, and safety mechanisms such as chuck and toolholder guards. The machine is compliant with CE safety standards and is equipped with leveling bolts, tailstock with quick release, and lighting for operational convenience. Its design suits usage in industrial environments requiring manual lathe operation for machining components up to 4000 mm in length and 500 mm in diameter.
