Designed specifically for large-scale metal turning in industrial environments
The CN6180B / CN6280B heavy-duty lathes are designed for demanding industrial machining applications, particularly those requiring high workpiece machining capacity, cutting forces, and long-term stability. These lathes feature a robust and durable construction made of high-rigidity cast iron and are equipped with hardened precision-ground guideways (HRC52+) to ensure consistent machining accuracy and effectively reduce wear during long-term use.
This large metal lathe has a maximum turning diameter of 800 mm on the bed and up to 1000 mm on the tool post, enabling it to machine large parts commonly found in heavy equipment manufacturing, the energy industry, and engineering workshops. Its maximum machining length reaches 3500 mm, further enhancing the flexibility of long-shaft machining.
Driven by an 11kW main motor, this machine tool provides strong torque to easily handle heavy-duty cutting operations and maintain smooth operation under various machining conditions. The wide spindle speed range (8–1400 rpm) allows operators to efficiently switch between roughing and finishing, making this heavy-duty lathe ideal for meeting diverse production needs.
The 82mm spindle bore allows for feeding of larger diameter bars, thereby improving batch processing efficiency. Furthermore, the machine supports multiple threading standards, including metric, imperial, module, and diametral pitch, ensuring compatibility with global industry standards.
This industrial lathe is widely used in heavy machinery, mining equipment, ship components, and general metal processing. For companies that require reliable and durable large metal lathes, the CN6180B/CN6280B series achieves an ideal balance between performance, flexibility, and long-term operational value.
