Built for the biggest jobs
When it comes to machining large-scale components, size matters. Our new horizontal lathe offers unparalleled capacity, allowing us to turn, cut, and finish some of the heaviest and longest parts in the industry. This impressive machine’s specifications include:
– Turning Length: Up to 10,000 mm (32’)
– Swing Diameter: 3,000 mm (118.1″)
– Max Workpiece Weight: 40 tons (without steady rests), up to 80 tons (with steady rests)
– Live Tooling & Y-Axis Capability: Enables precision milling, drilling, and tapping in a single setup
With these advanced features, we can now machine everything from mineral processing shafts to wind turbine main shafts, hydro shafts, and other large-scale industrial parts.
Precision & Efficiency in Every Cut
But it’s not just about size. It’s about capability. This horizontal lathe enhances our accuracy, reducing cycle times and improving surface finishes—critical factors that make a big difference in the ability to produce higher-quality components faster—keeping our customers’ operations moving without unnecessary delays. Additionally, the integration of live tooling and the Y-axis further expands our machining versatility, allowing us to handle intricate tasks for the most complex components.
