Floor Type Lathe: The Heavy-Duty Solution for Large-Scale Machining

The Floor Type Lathe, also recognized as a Large Head Lathe, Flange Turning Lathe, Disc Lathe, or Pit Lathe, is a robust machine tool engineered for the most demanding heavy-duty machining applications. It combines massive structural strength with precision control to handle oversized workpieces that are beyond the capacity of conventional lathes.

Core Features & Structural Advantages:

• Unmatched Rigidity: The machine incorporates a large-span rectangular guide rail on its base, a design that delivers exceptional stability and vibration damping, making it ideally suited for heavy turning operations at low speeds.

• Ergonomic Operation: The control station is strategically positioned at the front of the machine, ensuring convenient access and seamless workflow for the operator.

• Innovative Bed Design: The lathe features a unique construction where the headstock spindle is set perpendicular to the support plate. The headstock and horizontal bed are a unified, rigid assembly, mounted on a single, massive base.

• Precision Engineering: Key components undergo advanced stress-relief processes, including vibration aging, to ensure long-term structural integrity. The bed is hardened by super-audio frequency quenching, and the guide rails are precision-ground for superior accuracy and longevity.

• Manual Flexibility: The horizontal movement can be manually adjusted, providing versatility for various setup requirements.
