Specifications:

NOTE:
This high-precision lathe is German made to the highest standards. Designed
specially for the rapid turning of extremely precise rings and disks, such as used in
jet engines and turbines of all kinds, this lathe will substantially enable the production
of all circular workpieces within its range, such as piston rings, bearings and
bearing mounts, shims, spacers, valve components, etc. up to a 1250 mm
(50" nom.) diameter.

Design Features:

"... The chuck ring for tool accommodation has special [hydraulic pressurized]
double anti-friction bearings. The drive is effected via a helical rim gear. There is
continuous oil temperature/flow monitoring depending on revolutions. The
labyrinth packing of the main bearing includes a pressurized seal, guaranteeing the
integrity of the oil film, even down to zero revs, meanwhile totally excluding entry of
all coolant. The cross-travel bedways are parallel to each other on both sides of the
chuck and each accommodates one carriage for turning operations. Bed and carriage
slideways areprovided with fully hardened steel strips and pre-loaded rollers. ... "
-from mfr's technical design description

With excellent access from both sides of workpieces, the heavily-built, yet
compact opposed auto tool-changer turrets, enable this lathe to quickly generate all
turned pieces within its range in HALF the time of all ordinary turning centers. Even
more savings, in both precision and in total machining time,- are realized compared with
doing this kind of work on VTL's or Boring Mills. Up to four work area TV cameras
and monitors viewing the work area help the operator monitor all machining
functions in machining operations.

This lathe was part of a P & W plant closure in Connecticut, USA. It had hardly been
used at all and was well maintained. We've had it thoroughly inpsected, prior to full
re-configuring to the special needs of one of the world's top aerospace manufacturers,
and by one of U.K's top machine tool rebuilders. They are extremely happy with the
condition of our machine; their visting agents pronounced it in "superb condition" and
are now ready to fully rework this fine machine with any controls and modifications
required, while maintaining or exceeding the original performance,- to your most
exacting requirements.
