FAQs of Colombo Extra Heavy Duty Lathe Machine:
Q: How does the double V-type, flame-hardened bed benefit the lathe machines performance?
A: The double V-type, flame-hardened bed provides enhanced rigidity and precision, ensuring accurate alignment during heavy-duty operations. The hardening process reduces wear over time, and the ground surface delivers exceptional smoothness, resulting in precise machining and longevity of the machine.
Q: What types of workpieces can the Colombo Extra Heavy Duty Lathe accommodate?
A: This lathe is designed for large and heavy workpieces, thanks to its 3,000 mm distance between centers, 800 mm maximum swing diameter, and 105 mm spindle bore. Its suitable for manufacturing shafts, rolls, and other oversized components used in industrial and engineering sectors.
Q: When should the coolant system be used during machining?
A: The coolant system should be activated whenever performing cutting operations on hard or heat-sensitive materials or conducting prolonged machining sessions. It helps reduce tool wear, improves surface finish, and prevents workpiece deformation caused by excessive heat.
Q: Where can the Colombo lathe be installed for optimal performance?
A: This machine is best suited for installation in dedicated industrial workshops or manufacturing floors with sufficient space and proper three-phase, 415V, 50Hz power supply. Ensure the floor is level and structurally strong to support its 4,500 kg weight and operation.
Q: What is the purpose of the four-way heavy duty tool post?
A: The four-way heavy duty tool post enables quick and secure changing of various cutting tools, increasing efficiency during complex or multi-stage machining processes. Its robust design ensures consistent tool alignment, contributing to high-precision output.
Q: How does manual control enhance the user experience on this lathe?
A: Manual control offers the operator greater flexibility to adjust feed rates, handle delicate machining, and respond instantly to any operational variances. This level of direct interaction is valued in specialized applications where precise, hands-on manipulation is required.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing this lathe for production environments?
A: Key advantages include its heavy-duty and vibration-free construction for superior surface finishes, high production capacity, easy operation, and durability. Precision-ground surfaces and a reliable coolant system further ensure high efficiency and consistent quality over extended use.
