Product Overview

The horizontal lathe with flat guideways is a CNC turning machine with a level bed, longitudinal carriage and horizontal spindle. It is used for long piston rods, axles, hydraulic cylinders, threaded shafts and bar-stock components in repair shops, general machining and industrial component production.

Key Features

Long-shaft Turning Envelope

Maximum swing classes are 400, 500, 630 and 800 mm, with available machining lengths from 750 to 2,000 mm. When a hydraulic rod needs several bearing diameters machined along its length, the extended Z working area supports the turning sequence without transferring the rod to another lathe.

Broad Flat Bed Support

Flat box-way construction provides a bed-guideway width of at least 280 mm. When a long shaft projects between the chuck and tailstock, the sliding bed supports consistent carriage tracking during extended longitudinal passes.

Through-spindle Bar Loading

Spindle-bore choices include 52, 65, 80 and 105 mm across the swing classes. For repeated production from bar stock, the chosen bore allows a suitably sized bar to be advanced through the spindle instead of cutting individual blanks before every setup.

Custom Horizontal Lathe with Flat Guideways

Configuration is based on maximum workpiece length, stock diameter, overhang and the position of supported journals. We select the spindle-bore, tailstock and work-rest arrangements from the machining drawing and produce the required workholding package for the approved shaft program.

Quality Control

The bed casting and guideway surfaces are checked before slide fitting. During alignment, spindle-to-tailstock coaxiality and carriage straightness are verified over the working length rather than only close to the chuck.

A long test shaft is turned to check diameter variation between the spindle and tailstock ends. Idle and cutting tests are carried out before dispatch, followed by full outgoing inspection and corrosion protection of exposed surfaces.
