The OMG Zanoletti 240 x 1500 horizontal lathe , like many other products of this historic Italian brand, represents a robust and reliable solution for precision machining in the turning field. This model, equipped with a bezel and half bezel , is built to the highest quality standards and uses cast iron components of Italian origin , ensuring remarkable longevity and precision in workmanship.

Components and Accessories

The specific model we are talking about, a used OMG Zanoletti 240 x 1500 , is equipped with several useful accessories, including:

• Platò for the safe positioning of the pieces;
• 12 tool holders , which allow you to have various cutting and processing tools available;
• Chuck collets , useful for gripping workpieces of different sizes.

The presence of lunettes, half lunettes and collets is particularly useful for processes that require stability and precision, especially for longer pieces.

Dimensions and Technical Specifications

The dimensions of the model are 240 mm height of centers and a distance between centers of 1500 mm, making it ideal for processing medium-length workpieces. These features make it a versatile lathe for different applications.

Mechanical Characteristics and Method of Use

From a mechanical point of view, this lathe is built with a solid base and vibrations reduced to a minimum, allowing remarkable precision even during heavy or high precision machining. Ease of use is another strong point, as the control system allows quick and simple adjustments.

For use, the workpiece is mounted on the chuck or table, secured by collets or steady rests. Subsequently, the speed parameters are selected based on the material to be machined (using specific formulas such as n=1000×Vπ×Dn = \frac{1000 \times V}{\pi \times D} $n$ $=$ π × D 1000 × V where n is the spindle speed, V the cutting speed and D the workpiece diameter). At this point, we proceed to machining, which may include external, internal turning, or profiling.

Maintenance and Advantages of Buying Used

Maintenance of the OMG Zanoletti 240 x 1500 lathe requires regular lubrication of the guides and moving components, as well as periodic checking of the fixing systems. The conditions of the used items must be verified through the functionality of the controls, the absence of excessive play in the mechanisms and the good preservation of the work surfaces.

Buying this used model represents an excellent deal, given that the sturdiness and quality of construction guarantee its long life, even after years of use.
