European Built Mid-Size Lathes
October 1, 2017
Toolmex Lathes, the exclusive USA importer for TUR European built lathes, has announced the newest generation of mid-size TUR European built lathes, models TUR800SMN, TUR930SMN, TUR1100SMN and TUR1200SMN.
All feature the heavier "solid" floor to front V-way bed, plus more choices of the following:
- Turning diameters: 31" - 47" over bed
- Length between centers: 78" - 550" bc
- Load capacities: 9,000 - 16,000 lbs. bc
- Spindle bores: 5"-17".
"The new `solid' bed design still includes TRI-V ways, a superior design considered the best in class for flat bed lathes and Z-axis (longitudinal) movements," said a company spokesperson. "The new solid bed increases rigidity for improved performance. TUR TRI-V beds have two full matched V-ways, front and rear supporting the saddle. Other flat bed lathes commonly have only one front V and rear flat way. Additionally, most beds sit on legs as compared to TUR-SMN `solid' support. Historically, TRI-V ways were on the best American flat bed lathes to increase accuracy, reduce vibration and extend the service life of the lathe."
Key TUR-SMN Solid bed TRI-V bed features and benefits:
- Heavy full-length low profile bed supports the lathe to the foundation; 37" x 157" bc weighs approximately 31,000 lbs.
- Increased rigidity and heavier load capacity options
- Improved operator access to work and tooling: faster set-ups, easier loading and unloading
- The optional TUR-4SMN series offers the `solid' and four way/three shear bed version for turn through steadies machining
- Increased support of carriage with four way surfaces (compared to the standard three)
- Self honing effect with dual V's for Z-axis movements (longer service life)
- Eliminates fish tailing in +/-Z traverse (tighter tolerances when boring and turning)
- TUR-SMN beds are built extra wide: 24.5" (two way bed) and 41.3" (four way/three shear bed)
- TUR-SMN matched front and rear V ways are massive, increasing contact, stability and performance.
Toolmex European TUR-MN/CNC lathes are designed for demanding industry applications including power generation, transportation, machinery manufacturing, print, oil and gas, foundry, agriculture, steel and mining.
