Overview

The LB6266C/2000 Horizontal Gap Bed Manual Lathe Machine is designed for heavy-duty and precision metal turning applications where machining flexibility, rigidity and reliable manual operation are required.

With a maximum swing over bed of 660 mm, a large 105 mm spindle bore and a workpiece capacity of up to 2000 mm in length, the machine is capable of handling both large-diameter components and long shafts. The removable gap-bed design further increases machining capacity near the headstock, making it suitable for larger flanges, discs and irregularly shaped components.

The machine can perform a wide range of conventional turning operations including internal and external turning, taper turning, end facing, threading, drilling, boring and grooving. Metric, inch, module and diametral-pitch threading capabilities provide flexibility for customers serving different markets and machining standards.

Its robust cast-iron structure, hardened guideways and high-rigidity spindle system help provide stable cutting performance during both heavy material removal and precision finishing.

The LB6266C/2000 is suitable for general engineering workshops, industrial machinery manufacturers, repair facilities and metal component producers requiring a dependable manual horizontal lathe for medium and large workpieces.

Key Features

Heavy-Duty Horizontal Gap Bed Structure

The rigid horizontal machine bed provides excellent stability during heavy cutting operations.A removable gap section near the spindle allows larger-diameter workpieces to be machined without requiring a substantially larger machine.This makes the lathe particularly suitable for:

• Large flanges
• Discs
• Flywheels
• Large-diameter sleeves
• Irregular rotational components

660 mm Swing Over Bed

The machine provides a maximum swing over bed of approximately 660 mm, offering sufficient capacity for medium and large industrial workpieces.The maximum swing over the carriage is approximately 420 mm, providing flexible machining capacity for general turning applications.

Large 105 mm Spindle Bore

The 105 mm through-spindle bore allows larger bars, tubes and shafts to pass through the headstock.This significantly expands the range of workpieces that can be processed compared with smaller conventional lathes.

2000 mm Workpiece Capacity

The LB6266C/2000 configuration provides a nominal machining length of 2000 mm, making it suitable for long shafts, rollers and other elongated components.Other bed-length configurations may also be available according to production requirements.

Wide Range of Turning Operations

The machine can perform multiple conventional machining processes, including:

• External turning
• Internal turning
• Facing
• Taper turning
• Thread cutting
• Grooving
• Drilling
• Boring

This allows one machine to handle a wide variety of general workshop machining requirements.

Multiple Thread Cutting Capabilities

The gearbox supports different thread standards including:

• Metric threads
• Inch threads
• Module threads
• Diametral pitch threads

This makes the machine suitable for international manufacturing and repair applications where different thread standards may be required.

Rigid Spindle System

The spindle system is designed for good rigidity and machining stability.A large spindle bore combined with a robust spindle structure allows the machine to accommodate larger workpieces while maintaining smooth rotation during machining.

Hardened and Ground Bed Ways

The machine bed and guideways are designed to provide good wear resistance and long-term machining accuracy.Hardened and precision-ground guideways help maintain stable carriage movement during repeated industrial operation.

Flexible Workholding

Different workholding accessories can be configured depending on the application, including:

• 3-jaw chuck
• 4-jaw chuck
• Faceplate
• Steady rest
• Follow rest

This allows both regular and irregular workpieces to be securely clamped for machining.

Manual Control with Easy Operation

As a conventional manual lathe, the machine provides operators with direct control over machining parameters and movements.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Small-batch production
• Repair work
• Tool rooms
• Custom machining
• Maintenance workshops
• Training workshops

where flexible manual machining is often more practical than fully automated CNC production.
