Labor lathe

General Features:

• Model: Labor
• Type: Parallel lathe
• Condition: Used, working

Technical data:

• Distance between tips: 800 mm
• Control type: Displayed (presumably a display system for reading dimensions and settings)
• Maximum turning diameter on the carriage: 250 mm
• Bar passage: 55 mm

Main Components:

• Chuck: Fixes the piece to be worked and allows rotation. The spindle mount specification is not given, but it could be a standard type such as Camlock or other.
• Carriage: Allows longitudinal and transversal movements of the piece and tool. The maximum turning diameter on the carriage indicates the maximum size of the piece that can be machined without interference.
• Bench: Support surface for the carriage and the workpiece.
• Tailstock: (if present) Provides support at the opposite end of the workpiece from the spindle.

Measurements and Dimensions:

• General Dimensions: Specific dimensions are not provided, but typically for lathes with a center distance of 800mm, the overall dimensions would be approximately 1500-2000mm in length, with a varying width and height.
• Weight: Not specified, but for lathes with 800 mm center distance, the weight can vary from approximately 500 to 1000 kg.

Mechanical Characteristics:

• Turning Diameter on the Carriage: 250 mm indicates the maximum size of the piece that can be machined when the carriage is positioned.
• Bar passage: 55 mm, indicative of the maximum size of the pieces that can be inserted through the chuck.

Formulas for Optimal Use Parameters:

• Cutting Speed ​​(Vc): Vc = (π × D × N) / 1000
  • Vc = Cutting speed in m/min
  • D = Workpiece diameter in mm
  • N = Spindle rotation speed in rpm
• Feeds: Depend on the processing and type of material.

Workable Materials:

• Metals: Steel, aluminium, brass, copper
• Non-metallic materials: Plastic, wood (with appropriate modifications)

Maintenance:

• Lubrication: Make sure the lubrication system is well maintained to prevent component wear.
• Inspection and Alignment: Periodically check the alignment of the spindle and carriage.
• Cleaning: Remove chips and dust to keep the machine in good condition.
• Replacement of Worn Components: Monitor and replace worn components such as bearings and guides.

Evaluation of Used:

• General Condition: Examine carefully for signs of wear or damage and test all functions.
• Documentation: Request the maintenance history and interventions carried out.
• Functional Test: Carry out tests to ensure the accuracy and functionality of the machine.

Sectors of Use:

• Manufacturing Industry: Processing of metal and plastic parts.
• Mechanical Workshops: Repair and production of components.
• Automotive Industry: Production and repair of vehicle parts.

Advantages of Buying Used:

• Lower Cost: Generally cheaper than a new lathe.
• Less Depreciation: Used lathes depreciate less than new ones.
• Reliability: A well-maintained lathe can have a long remaining useful life.
