Advantages of Large-Bore Conventional Lathe
 
01/

Extended Spindle Clearance: Passes large-diameter steel tubes and bar stock directly through the headstock for efficient end-threading and boring.

02/

High-Rigidity Cast Iron Bed: Built with dense grey iron castings to absorb heavy cutting vibrations and maintain axial precision.

03/

High-Torque Headstock: Precision gears deliver smooth power transfer for deep facing, external turning, and heavy threading.

04/

Wide Hardened Guideways: Ground guideway surfaces reduce wear and balance massive workpiece loads.

05/

Heavy Tailstock System: Massive quill design provides rigid end-support to maintain straightness across extended shaft lengths.

06/

Versatile Tooling & Threading: Supports metric, inch, module, and diametral pitch threading without frequent gear changes.

Manufacturing Quality & Testing Standards

Casting Stress Relief

Heavy iron castings undergo thermal aging treatment to eliminate internal stress and prevent long-term deformation.

 

Guideway Induction Hardening

Precision-ground bedways receive high-frequency quenching to maximize wear resistance under heavy loads.

Precision Gear Assembly

Spindle drive gears are dynamically balanced and aligned for smooth, high-torque power delivery.

Static Accuracy Inspection

Geometrical tolerances and spindle runout are measured against strict international standards before assembly.

Full-Load Trial Testing

Every machine executes simulated heavy cutting and full-capacity runs prior to final export packaging.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the main benefit of a large-bore conventional lathe?

A: The oversized spindle bore allows long, large-diameter pipes and bars to pass directly through the headstock, enabling end-machining, threading, and boring without needing extra-long bed extensions.

Q: How do I select the right swing size and bed length?

A: Measure your largest workpiece diameter over the bed and carriage, add clearance for tool posts, and calculate maximum workpiece weight to determine required guideway width and center distance.

Q: Can these lathes handle heavy workpiece weights over 10 tons?

A: Yes, our heavy-duty series features widened beds, reinforced bed legs, and high-capacity tailstocks designed to hold loads up to 32 tons safely.

Q: Are custom spindle bores available beyond 130 mm?

A: Custom headstocks and spindle designs can be manufactured depending on your operational needs and part clearance requirements.

Q: What accessories come standard with the machine?

A: Standard packages typically include steady rests, follow rests, 3-jaw or 4-jaw chucks, faceplates, coolant systems, and standard tool post setups.
