These Heavy duty horizontal lathes for industrial metal turning applications with with a turning weight of 3000kg Between Centers and a max Swing over bed of Ø800mm (31")
A heavy duty horizontal lathe with a maximum swing over bed of Ø800mm (31 inches) is a robust and versatile machine tool that is designed for large-scale turning operations. It is typically used in heavy-duty manufacturing industries, such as shipbuilding, mining, and oil and gas production, where precision and reliability are essential.
This type of lathe is characterized by a large and sturdy bed that provides a solid base for the cutting operation. The bed is usually made from high-strength cast iron, which gives it the required stability and rigidity to handle heavy loads and withstand harsh industrial environments. The bed is also carefully machined to ensure accuracy and precision.
The headstock of the lathe is mounted on the bed and houses the main spindle, which rotates at high speeds to drive the cutting tool. The headstock also includes a gearbox, which allows the operator to change the speed of the spindle, and a feed mechanism that moves the cutting tool along the axis of the workpiece.
The tailstock is mounted at the other end of the bed and is used to support the end of the workpiece. It is adjustable to accommodate different lengths of workpieces, and it can be locked in place to prevent movement during the cutting operation.
The cutting tool is mounted on a tool post that is attached to a cross slide, which moves the cutting tool across the face of the workpiece. The cross slide is driven by a leadscrew, which is powered by a motor or manually rotated by the operator.
Overall, a heavy duty horizontal lathe with a maximum swing over bed of Ø800mm (31 inches) is a powerful and reliable machine that can handle a wide range of turning operations, from roughing and finishing to drilling and tapping. It is capable of producing high-quality parts with tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes, making it an essential tool for many heavy-duty manufacturing applications.

Using a heavy duty horizontal lathe with a maximum swing over bed of Ø800mm (31 inches) requires a basic understanding of the machine's components and operating procedures.
Here are the general steps for using this type of lathe:
Install the workpiece: The workpiece is installed between the headstock and the tailstock, with the center of the workpiece aligned with the centerline of the lathe. The tailstock is adjusted to provide support to the end of the workpiece.
Mount the cutting tool: The cutting tool is mounted on the tool post and tightened securely. The tool post is positioned so that the cutting tool is in line with the center of the workpiece.
Adjust the speeds and feeds: The spindle speed and feed rate are set based on the material being cut, the size of the cutting tool, and the desired cutting parameters. The gearbox on the headstock is used to change the spindle speed, while the leadscrew on the cross slide is used to control the feed rate.
Start the machine: The power to the motor is turned on, and the spindle begins to rotate. The cutting tool is moved into contact with the workpiece, and the leadscrew is engaged to drive the cross slide.
Monitor the cutting operation: The operator should monitor the cutting operation and adjust the speeds and feeds as necessary to ensure that the cut is being made correctly. The operator should also pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations, which may indicate a problem with the machine or the cutting tool.
Stop the machine: When the cutting operation is complete, the power to the motor is turned off, and the cutting tool is moved away from the workpiece. The workpiece is removed from the lathe, and the cutting tool is dismounted from the tool post.
Clean and maintain the machine: After each use, the lathe should be cleaned and checked for any damage or wear. Any necessary repairs should be made, and the machine should be lubricated to keep it in good working condition.
These are the basic steps for using a heavy duty horizontal lathe with a maximum swing over bed of Ø800mm (31 inches). It is important to follow all safety procedures and to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the machine and its operating manual before using the lathe.
