Slant Bed Lathe Handles Rough- and Fine-Turning Needs

Large 12.5" spindle bore for API pipe threading

Chevalier's FBL-530C is a versatile machine and features a 12.5" spindle bore. "The slant bed lathe is a stable, highly accurate machine that can handle rough- and fine-turning operations for large workpieces. Its structure, capacity, power and accessories underscore the machine's ability to handle various operations in an efficient, productive manner," said a company spokesperson.

The spindle bore diameter is 12.5". Maximum swing diameter is 40"; maximum turning diameter is 37". The series features an optional dual chuck capability to provide more stability for longer parts.

The structure is heat-treated to Rockwell 55° and stress relieved. The 45° slant bed design is comprised of a single piece of Meehanite cast iron with wide-span, ribbed box structure. Four oversized box ways, 5.1" wide and 3.1" thick, provide strong stability and support.

A powerful 60 HP spindle motor features a three-stage gear headstock and generates 4,135 nm torque, suitable for most cutting conditions of large-diameter workpieces or tough material applications.

A 12-station hydraulic turret with a large 7.8" (200 mm) thick disk and hydraulic clamping of its curvic coupling design provides cutting stability during rough turning.

The programmable tailstock provides auto positioning with hydraulic quill. The tailstock has a built-in MT-6 rotary quill designed to provide better parts weight support than a normal live-center type of quill. Standard link-type chip conveyor and oil skimmer is also a standard accessory.
