ZMMBG CU 500MTRD X 3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 500MTRD X 3000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision metal turning and machining operations. Featuring a robust swing capacity of 19.69 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates large workpieces while maintaining rigidity and accuracy. The extended center distance of 118.11 inches enables machining of lengthy components, making it suitable for industrial production environments requiring versatile turning capabilities. The spindle bore diameter of 4.06 inches supports standard tooling and chuck configurations for various workholding solutions. Powered by a 14.75 HP motor operating at 1,400 RPM, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force and torque necessary for demanding applications involving material removal and precision finishing. The swing over cross slide measurement of 11.81 inches indicates the lateral tool movement capacity, facilitating accurate dimensional control and complex geometric profiles. This manual operation design provides operators with direct control over machining parameters, allowing for adaptive techniques and real-time adjustments based on material behavior and surface finish requirements. The machine's specifications position it as an intermediate-capacity lathe suitable for small to medium production runs, prototype development, and job shop applications. Its combination of power, extended working length, and operational control makes it a practical investment for manufacturers requiring flexible metal-turning capabilities without full CNC automation complexity.
