Robust Construction & Heavy-duty PrecisionConstructed from heavy-duty cast iron and alloy steel, the Ernault Somua lathe is engineered for durability and high load handling. With its large chuck diameter (800 mm) and variable cutting speeds, the machine ensures precise operations even on the toughest materials. The automatic centralized lubrication promotes consistent, maintenance-friendly performance, while the machines heavy frame guarantees stability during intensive operations.
Versatile Operations and ApplicationsWith its substantial turning length (2000 mm) and swing diameter (2000 mm), the Ernault Somua Lathe can accommodate large industrial components. It is suitable for tasks like heavy turning, accurate threading, facing, and deep boring. The integrated coolant system enhances the cutting process, delivering longer tool life and superior surface finish, making it an excellent fit for demanding industrial workshops.
Efficient Workflow & User-controlOperators benefit from an 18-step spindle speed, variable up to 600 RPM, and a robust 11 kW main motor to adapt quickly to different machining requirements. The manual controls offer flexibility for skilled users, and the integrated features, such as a 260 mm tailstock quill travel and 50 mm max. tool width, streamline setup for various heavy-duty applications.
FAQs of Ernault Somua 2000 mm Heavy Duty Lathe Machine:
Q: How does the Ernault Somua 2000 mm Heavy Duty Lathe Machine benefit heavy industrial manufacturing?
A: This lathe is specifically designed for machining large, heavy components in demanding environments. Its robust construction, high load capacity, and precision sliding capabilities ensure reliable operation, consistent performance, and superior surface finishes (up to IT7 grade) in industrial manufacturing projects.
Q: What features contribute to the machines precision and durability?
A: The lathe features a bed made from cast iron, a strong spindle bore (105 mm), automatic centralized lubrication, and variable speed control. Together, these provide high structural strength, reduced wear, smooth shaft movement, and repeatable accuracy across a variety of heavy-duty operations.
Q: When should this lathe machine be used instead of a CNC lathe?
A: Opt for this manual lathe when you require flexibility for custom, low-to-medium volume heavy turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. It is ideal for workshops where skilled machinists need to adjust parameters in real-time for varied, large-scale parts or prototypes, rather than mass-automated production.
Q: Where can the Ernault Somua lathe be installed and utilized effectively?
A: This lathe is best suited for installation in heavy-duty machine shops, industrial manufacturing plants, fabrication workshops, or repair facilities, especially those involved in exporting, importing, or supplying large-scale metal components.
Q: What is the process of operating this lathe machine?
A: Operation is manual: skilled machinists set workpieces between centers, select appropriate spindle speeds from 18 steps, use the integrated coolant system as needed, and operate the machine for heavy-duty turning, threading, or boring. Automatic lubrication ensures critical parts stay protected during use.
Q: How is the machine maintained during regular use?
A: Routine maintenance is convenient due to the automatic centralized lubrication system, which reduces manual intervention. Operators should check coolant and lubrication levels periodically, ensure proper cleaning after heavy sessions, and inspect mechanical components for lasting precision and reliability.
Q: What usage guidelines should be followed to maximize machine efficiency and lifespan?
A: Always use the recommended voltage (415 V), avoid overloading beyond the 50 mm cutting thickness, utilize integrated features like coolant pump and lubrication, and follow scheduled maintenance. Skilled manual control and proper tool selection also extend tool and machine life.
