Labor 255 parallel lathe is a machine tool used mainly for the mechanical processing of metal pieces. Being a used model, it is particularly appreciated in mechanical workshops for its balance between robustness and reliability, which makes it an excellent choice for precision machining.

Technical data and dimensions

Labor 255 lathe is equipped with a distance between the centers of 1500 mm , which allows the processing of large pieces. The height of the tips is approximately 255 mm , while the bar passage is 56 mm . These sizes are ideal for medium to heavy duty jobs.

The lathe is equipped with a 2-axis digital display , which allows the operator to precisely monitor movements in both longitudinal and transversal directions. This feature greatly facilitates movement control and improves precision in turning operations.

Components and use

The Labor 255 is made up of standard elements that include the chuck, carriage, guides and tailstock. The chuck is robust, with a swing that allows you to machine large diameter bars. The carriage, sliding on ground guides, guarantees fluid and precise movements along the longitudinal axis.

The lathe is used following a standard procedure:

1. Preparation of the piece : the piece to be worked is fixed between the centers or in the chuck.
2. Tool setup : Place the turning tool on the tool holder, adjusting the height to avoid machining errors.
3. Speed ​​adjustment : the lathe has different rotation speeds, adjustable according to the material to be worked and the diameter of the piece.
4. Machining : Start the lathe, controlling the removal of material and the movement of the tool along the longitudinal and transverse axis.

Workable materials and accessories

The Labor 255 can process different types of materials, including steel, cast iron, aluminum and light metal alloys . Thanks to its robustness and precision, it is capable of carrying out external, internal turning, threading and complex machining operations.

Accessories such as the self-centering chuck , steady rests and various types of tool holders can be combined to improve the functionality of the machine. These accessories extend the machining possibilities, making the lathe suitable for a wide range of applications.

Maintenance

Being a used model, regular maintenance is essential to ensure correct functioning and durability over time. It is recommended:

• Periodically lubricate the guides and bearings .
• Check the accuracy of the chuck and the alignment of the tips.
• Clean the machine carefully to avoid accumulations of chips and debris which could compromise its operation.

Sectors of use and advantages of buying used

The Labor 255 is used in various industrial sectors, including precision mechanics, automotive and the production of mechanical parts. Its use is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses that need a versatile and reliable machine at a low cost.

Purchasing a used lathe like the Labor 255 offers several advantages: the lower cost compared to a new machine, the possibility of still exploiting high productivity, and the robustness of the structure, which ensures long-lasting performance over time.
