Key Features

 

Expanded Oversized Turning Envelope: Effortlessly process components exceeding standard machine tool boundaries, drastically lowering operator handling risks and setup costs.
Rigid Heavy-Duty Bed Architecture: Cast from premium Meehanite iron with stress-relieved heat treatment, suppressing vibration during high-feed roughing and extending carbide insert life.
High-Torque Headstock & Gear Drive: Multi-range automatic gearbox provides massive torque at low RPMs for high material removal rates on alloy steel, stainless steel, and forgings.
Large Through-Bore Design: Allows long oilfield pipes, drill collars, and hollow shafts to pass through the headstock for efficient end-machining and threading.
Precision CNC Automation: Ensures tight tolerances (microns) and repeat accuracy across long machining cycles with automatic thermal compensation.

 

Application Industries

 

Oil & Gas Industry: Machining casing, tubing, drill collars, and pressure-containing valve assemblies.
Shipbuilding & Marine: Manufacturing long propulsion drive shafts, rudder stocks, and cylinder liners.
Wind Power & Renewable Energy: Precision turning of wind power generation shafts, hubs, and gear rings.
Mining & Heavy Equipment: Fabricating massive conveyor drums, hydraulic cylinders, and crusher components.

Heavy Machinery Manufacturing: General contract machining for oversized custom industrial forgings and castings.

 

Machine Structure

 

Heavy Cast Iron Machine Bed: Features wide inductive-hardened box ways that evenly distribute the weight of 50-ton workpieces without structural deformation.
Precision Spindle Assembly: Supported by P4-grade high-precision double-row cylindrical roller bearings to absorb both radial and axial cutting loads.
Hardened & Ground Guideways: Turcite-B coated mating surfaces reduce friction coefficient, eliminate stick-slip, and maintain positioning precision over extended service life.
Heavy-Duty Tailstock System: Motorized or hydraulic tailstock with built-in live/dead center quill provides rigid end-support for long shaft turning.
Centralized Automatic Lubrication: Continuously delivers metered oil to guideways and ball screws to reduce mechanical wear and maintenance downtime.
 

CNC Control System

 

Equipped with industry-leading global CNC controllers for intuitive operation and complex process execution:
Multi-Axis & Spindle Control: Synchronized feed movement with digital AC servo technology.
Tool Management & Compensation: Automatic tool wear compensation, nose radius calculation, and real-time geometry adjustments.
Program Storage & Connectivity: Support for USB, Ethernet, RS232, and Industry 4.0 IoT network integration.
Advanced Diagnostics: Self-diagnosis, alarm history logging, and remote maintenance support to minimize troubleshooting time.

Quality Control

 

To guarantee reliable field performance, every machine undergoes a strict multi-stage inspection process before dispatch:
Casting Material Inspection: Ultrasonic and hardness testing of machine bed castings to confirm structural integrity.
Component Precision Testing: CMM inspection for critical drive components, spindles, and lead screws.
Spindle Assembly Verification: Dynamic balance testing, temperature rise monitoring, and thermal stability checks.
Geometric Alignment: Laser interferometer testing to measure positioning accuracy, pitch, and yaw across all axes.
Trial Machining Verification: Full-load trial cutting on test workpieces to verify accuracy, surface finish, and dynamic rigidity.

Pre-Shipment Support: Detailed factory inspection reports, video dry-runs, technical documentation, and pre-delivery customer sign-off.
Export Packaging: Multi-layer anti-rust treatment, heavy-duty wooden crate packaging, and secure container tie-downs.
Installation & Commissioning: On-site installation assistance, commissioning by experienced field engineers, and operator training.
Ongoing Technical Service: Lifelong technical advice, fast-response spare parts availability, and remote diagnostic support.

 

FAQ

 

Q: How do I select the right machine configuration for my production line?

A: Selection depends on workpiece dimensions (OD/ID), maximum length, total weight, material hardness, and required cycle times. Provide your technical drawings or part specifications, and our engineering team will propose an optimized configuration.

Q: What is the primary advantage of this machine over standard CNC lathes?

A: It features a significantly heavier structure, larger spindle bore (up to 500 mm), higher weight capacity (up to 50 tons), and stronger motor torque to machine extra-large industrial components reliably without chatters or precision loss.

Q: Can you customize the bed length, spindle bore, or control system?

A: Yes. All core parameters-including bed length, swing diameter, spindle bore size, CNC controller brand, chuck type, and steady rest capacity-can be tailored to your precise operational requirements.

Q: How do you ensure accuracy on long workpiece turning?

A: Accurate machining on long components is guaranteed through high-rigidity box guideways, precision-aligned tailstocks, heavy-duty steady rests, and laser-calibrated axes movement.
