Manufacturing large parts with tight tolerances is no small task. The CK5116 vertical lathe rises to the challenge, combining large workpiece capacity, torque, optional CNC control, and durable design to deliver both productivity and precision. It thrives in heavy industries where heavy castings, large flanges, shells, and housings must be machined reliably.
Large Workpiece Handling
The CK5116 supports turning diameters up to 1600 mm and table diameters of 1400 mm, accommodating workpiece heights up to ~1400 mm depending on model. With a 5-ton workpiece capacity and large torque on the table (≈ 30-32 kN·m), it can handle heavy workloads with less stress on spindle bearings and frame. The large hollow spindle sleeve plus sturdy supports help manage heavy cutting forces.
Advanced Control & User-Friendly Features
Selectable controls include SIEMENS, FANUC, or GSK CNC systems. Hybrid operation allows switching between full CNC programs and manual controls, which is useful for setup, maintenance, or simple operations. Constant surface cutting speed (CSCS) and gearbox/motor combinations provide stable cutting across speed ranges. Digital readouts, overload protection, and centralized lubrication enhance usability and safety.
Precision Meets Strong Motion Components
The machine's guideways are hardened, its moving parts heavily supported. The tool feed range is wide (0.1-500 mm/min) allowing fine finishing to heavy stock removal. Rapid movements for the tool head (up to ~2500 mm/min) and decent vertical/horizontal travels (approx. 800 mm for ram, ~850 mm crosshead etc.) enable efficient setups and reduce non-cutting time.
Reliability Under Load
Massive machine weight (~12-14 tonnes for many CK5116 builds), rigid casting structure, high torque main motors of ~30 kW, and robust electrical components ensure minimal vibration and stable machining accuracy over long periods. Heavy duty chucks, safe clamping, and optional cooling or air-conditioned electrical cabinets extend life of both tooling and spindle assemblies.
Applications & ROI
Manufacturers producing large housings, flanges, heavy rotating bodies, machine bases, or components like motor casings, turbine parts, or large molds will find CK5116 delivers strong returns. Fewer setups, better accuracy, and wider capability reduce rework and increase throughput.
Conclusion
If your production involves large turning and boring tasks, the CK5116 vertical lathe offers a compelling blend of capacity, precision, and durability. It is engineered to lower cost per part while increasing quality and performance.
