Construction and technology of the CNC Pipe Lathe CKT1000x1500
CNC Pipe Lathe CORMAK CKT1000x1500 Spindle Bore 270mm has been designed for durability, precision, and ease of operation. Key components include:
Construction and bed
The machine’s massive frame and wide bed provide exceptional rigidity and vibration damping. The centre distance of 1500 mm and a maximum swing over bed of 1000 mm allow machining of large workpieces such as pipes and shafts.
Spindle and drive
The spindle with a bore of 270 mm (optionally 220 mm) and speed range 22–300 rpm, driven by an 11 kW motor, ensures high cutting efficiency. The standard 630 mm 4-jaw chuck (optional 400 mm 3-jaw chuck) provides secure clamping of large parts.
Guides and drives
Linear guides and precision servo drives ensure smooth movement on the X/Z axes (travel 1350/620 mm) with rapid feed rates of 4/8 m/min, reducing positioning errors and guaranteeing high operational dynamics.
Control system
The standard Siemens Sinumerik 808D (optionally Siemens 828D or Fanuc Oi-TF) allows precise programming and process optimisation. The compact control panel with IP65 protection ensures reliability in harsh workshop conditions, and the RS-232 interface facilitates integration with CAD/CAM systems.
Precision and performance
Industrial Lathe CORMAK CKT1000x1500 Spindle Bore 270mm delivers high precision thanks to its advanced CNC system and robust design. Axis repeatability X/Z of 0.012/0.02 mm and 0.025 mm, combined with feed speeds of 4/8 m/min, allow toolpath optimisation, shorter cycles, and increased efficiency. The powerful 11 kW motor makes this lathe ideal for both serial and single-piece production of large parts.
Applications of the CNC Pipe Lathe CKT1000x1500
CNC Metal Lathe CORMAK CKT1000x1500 Spindle Bore 270mm is widely used across demanding industries, including:
