Equipped with a slant bed and SIEMENS SINUMERIK 808D control, this CNC metal lathe provides high rigidity and accuracy when machining parts up to 1500mm in length. Its key advantage is a dynamic spindle drive and automated processes that significantly improve production efficiency.

Main Advantages of the CNC Lathe CORMAK 500x1500

The industrial CNC lathe CORMAK 500x1500 combines advanced technology with a robust structure, offering reliability and precision in metal machining. Below are the main advantages based on its technical parameters and design, supporting productivity, quality, and flexibility in production processes:

• Axis control precision: Manual movement of the X and Z axes using electronic handwheels and semi-automatic turning cycles (e.g. taper turning, threading) enables quick and accurate machine setup while minimising operator error.
• Advanced CNC control: The SIEMENS SINUMERIK 808D system with an intuitive interface and Teach-In function speeds up programming of turning cycles, reducing setup time by 20–30% compared to conventional lathes.
• High structural rigidity: The 390mm-wide slant bed with induction-hardened guides ensures stability when machining parts weighing up to 3,800kg, effectively reducing vibration and deformation.
• Dynamic spindle drive: A 7.5kW servo motor with an 82mm spindle bore and variable speeds from 35–2500rpm enables efficient machining of materials such as steel, aluminium and titanium alloys.
• Process automation: The 6-position turret shortens tool change time, improving productivity by 25–35% when producing complex components – a key factor in medium and large batch production.
• Low operating costs: An intelligent central lubrication system and high-quality ball screws minimise component wear, reducing maintenance costs and extending machine life.
• Safety and ergonomics: The cooling system, 24V halogen lighting and CE declaration ensure compliance with EU safety standards, enhancing operator comfort and workplace safety.
• Versatility of application: Designed for machining components with a maximum diameter of 500mm, such as shafts, sleeves and flanges, suitable for medium and large batch production, and easily integrated into machining centres.
• Configuration flexibility: Can be expanded with optional controls (Fanuc, Siemens 828D, GSK) and accessories such as a hydraulic chuck, bar feeder or chip conveyor, adapting the machine to specific production needs.

Construction and Technology of the CNC Lathe CORMAK 500x1500

The CNC lathe with a slant bed 500x1500 has been designed with durability and precision in mind. The 390mm-wide slant bed with induction-hardened guides provides high rigidity, ensuring stable machining of components with a maximum turning diameter of 500mm (over the cross slide 290mm). The spindle with an 82mm bore and A2-8 nose, driven by a 7.5kW servo motor, achieves variable speeds in the ranges of 35–190, 120–630, 480–2500rpm, allowing flexible machining of materials with different hardness levels.

The feed system based on ball screws offers rapid feed rates of 8/12m/min on the X/Z axes, with maximum travels of 250/1420mm. Automatic lubrication of the gears and guides extends component life, while the 6-position turret accommodates tools sized 20x20/25x25mm. The tailstock, with a quill diameter of 75mm, stroke of 150mm and MT5 taper, ensures stable workpiece support, while the standard 200mm chuck with adjustable clamping force guarantees secure workpiece holding.

Precision and Performance of the CNC Lathe CORMAK 500x1500

The CNC metal lathe 500x1500 achieves a positioning accuracy of 0.024/0.036mm on the X/Z axes, resulting from the use of servo drives and SIEMENS SINUMERIK 808D control. Programming cycles such as taper turning and threading allow fast process setup, reducing machining time by 20–30% compared to conventional lathes. The cooling system ensures thermal stability, which translates into excellent surface quality, particularly in serial production.

The dynamic spindle drive and optimised feed system enable efficient machining of parts up to 1500mm in length, minimising material waste and ensuring repeatability within micrometric tolerances. The machine is ideal for applications requiring high precision, such as the production of machine components, connectors and automotive parts.

Applications of the Industrial CNC Lathe CORMAK 500x1500

The numerically controlled lathe 500x1500 is intended for industrial plants specialising in metalworking, including the machinery, automotive, energy and aerospace sectors. The machine is suitable for turning components with a maximum diameter of 500mm, such as shafts, bushings, flanges and precision parts weighing up to 3,800kg. Its compact dimensions (3700 x 2100 x 2200mm) allow installation in workshops with limited space, while compatibility with CAD/CAM systems facilitates integration into machining centres and automated production lines.
