C6232D / C6132D Interval Bed Lathe – 350mm Slewing Diameter Manual Lathe

The C6232D/C6132D series is a versatile manual backplane lathe designed for precision turning, threading, and general machining. Featuring a bed turning diameter of up to 350 mm and an inter-bed turning diameter of up to 520 mm , these robust lathes offer exceptional rigidity and flexibility for workshops and manufacturing plants. The C6232D backplane lathe is available in three center distances (750 mm, 1000 mm, and 1500 mm), making it ideal for machining shafts, flanges, discs, and maintenance work.

Main features and advantages

The C6232D / C6132D manual backlash lathes stand out for their robust structure and user-friendly design:

• Large clearance bed design : with a maximum swing diameter of 520 mm and an effective length of 200 mm, it is ideal for turning short workpieces with large diameters, such as flanges and pulleys, without compromising bed rigidity.
• High-precision hardened guideways : The bed guideways are hardened to HRC52+ and precision ground on a CNC grinding machine to achieve excellent precision and a long service life.
• Powerful yet quiet spindle : 46mm spindle bore (can machine bar stock up to 45mm), MT6 taper, 12 speed settings, range 25-1600rpm. Key components are machined using Spanish CNC machining centers and low-noise CNC ground gears.
• Versatile threading capabilities : Supports a wide range of metric, imperial, module, and diametral pitch threads—ideal for maintenance, tool room, and production.
• Reliable drive system : 3/4.5 kW dual-speed main motor with heavy-duty V-belt for stable power transmission.
• Flexible tailstock : MT4 taper, 130mm spindle travel, ±10mm offset, facilitating taper turning.

Benefits to your company :

• Improve production efficiency through multi-functional gap bed design
• The robust and durable, highly rigid structure reduces downtime.
• Precision-machined parts can reduce maintenance costs
• This product offers excellent value for workshops seeking reliable manual clearance lathes .

  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  Question 1: What is the difference between C6132D and C6232D? Answer: C6232D is an intermittent print bed with a larger intermittent swing range (520 mm), while C6132D is typically a vertical print bed. Their core specifications are the same.

  Q2: What is the spindle bore diameter? A: The spindle bore diameter is 46 mm, which can process bars with a diameter of up to 45 mm.

  Q3: Can this manual lathe machine machine metric and imperial threads? A: Yes. It supports metric threads (30 types), imperial threads (35 types), module threads (25 types), and diaphragm pitch threads (30 types).

  Q4: Can the gap section of the worktable be disassembled? A: Yes, the gap section can be disassembled to restore the full length of the worktable, thus allowing for the processing of longer workpieces.

  Q5: What kind of power supply is required? A: The standard configuration is 380V/50Hz (custom voltage can be provided upon request).
