Cormak 800 x 1500 Universal Manual Lathe

Machine Type: Manual Universal Lathe

Machine Description

The CORMAK 800 Series metal lathes are equipped with rapid feeds, a multi-plate clutch and digital readouts. Thanks to modern design solutions and rich standard equipment, this lathe is perfect for professional and industrial applications, ensuring precision, reliability and performance in demanding machining environments.

The CORMAK 800x1500 universal lathe is a robust industrial conventional machine designed for precise metalworking in production plants, tool rooms and maintenance workshops. With its large turning diameter, rigid cast-iron structure and three-axis digital readout (DRO), the lathe guarantees high accuracy, efficiency and operator safety even under heavy loads. It is an ideal choice for professionals seeking reliability, durability and smooth control of workpieces.

Main Advantages

• Induction-hardened and ground bedways – provide outstanding rigidity and long-lasting precision.
• High-precision headstock with 105 mm spindle bore and D1-8 DIN 55029 nose – ensures stable machining of large components.
• Massive cast-iron construction dampens vibrations and maintains dimensional accuracy during prolonged operation.
• Rapid feeds in both longitudinal and cross directions significantly shorten machining cycles.
• Three-axis digital readout (3-axis DRO) enables real-time dimensional control for increased operator accuracy.
• Multi-plate clutch allows smooth spindle rotation reversal without stopping the machine.
• Foot-operated safety brake and chip guards enhance comfort and operational safety.

Design and Technology

The CORMAK 800x1500 conventional lathe has been designed for maximum precision and durability. Its high-quality cast-iron bed is induction-hardened and precision-ground to minimise guideway wear. The spindle mounted on precision bearings ensures rotational stability and low vibration levels, resulting in smooth surface finishes. The powerful main motor – 7.5/9 kW – enables efficient machining of steel, cast iron and other hard metals.

Drive and Cooling System

The machine is equipped with a cooling system that ensures optimal cutting conditions and 24V halogen lighting for excellent visibility and setup precision. The rapid feed mechanism allows quick carriage movement, improving overall efficiency and ergonomics.

Precision and Performance

Exceptional machining accuracy is achieved through a thoughtful mechanical design and modern metrological systems. The three-axis DRO allows precise monitoring of all machining parameters down to hundredths of a millimetre. The spindle speed range of 25–1600 rpm provides optimal cutting speeds for different materials and tools, extending tool life and improving surface finish quality.

Applications

The CORMAK 800x1500 universal lathe is designed for a wide range of turning operations – from roughing large steel workpieces to precise finishing of large-diameter parts. It is ideal for:

• industrial and production facilities,
• mechanical and maintenance workshops,
• tool rooms and repair departments,
• single-piece and small-batch production.

Its versatility and large swing over bed make it the perfect choice for workshops that demand flexibility without compromising on accuracy.
