Conventional Universal Lathe CORMAK 460×1000 VARIO – reliable industrial metal lathe
CORMAK 460×1000 VARIO is a professional universal lathe designed for precise machining of metal components in industrial plants, tool rooms and maintenance workshops. Thanks to its rigid cast iron structure, large spindle bore and three-axis digital readout, this conventional lathe ensures stability, repeatability and high performance even in demanding applications.
Main features of the machine
- Heavy-duty cast iron bed, hardened and precision ground for excellent vibration damping and long service life.
- Stable cast iron base ensures reliable mounting and accurate performance even under heavy load.
- Long turning length – 1000 mm – enables machining of long components in a single setup.
- Spindle bore 80 mm – allows turning of pipes and shafts with large inner diameters.
- Three-axis digital readout system (optical scales) – full control over carriage positioning and repeatability.
- 3-jaw chuck 250 mm – quick clamping and secure workpiece holding.
- High-quality spindle bearings – smooth, stable operation across the full speed range.
- 5.5 kW (S1) motor – reliable operation during long machining cycles.
- Rapid longitudinal and cross feed system – increased productivity and shorter cycle time.
- Removable bed bridge – enables turning of parts up to 690 mm in diameter.
Design and technology
The CORMAK 460×1000 VARIO model has been designed for intensive operation. The large-bore spindle is mounted on reinforced bearings, while the drive system includes a two-range gearbox with stepless spindle speed control using hardened and ground gears. All operating parameters are conveniently adjusted from an ergonomic control panel. The wide threading range (metric, inch, module, D.P.) without the need for frequent gear changes significantly improves operator efficiency.
Precision and performance
The machine is equipped with a lead screw and feed shaft for automatic feeds and precise threading. The digital readout system provides full control over three-axis positioning, ideal for tasks requiring repeatability and accuracy.
Applications
The CORMAK 460×1000 lathe is perfect wherever precision and reliability are key:
- Maintenance and repair departments,
- Locksmith and toolmaking workshops,
- Production plants,
- Technical schools and training centres.
