Manual lathe PL3000

horizontalportablefor shaft machining

Overview
The CLIMAX PL3000 portable lathe machines large shafts and roll journals in place by mounting on the shaft and rotating around it, enabling accurate on-site turning for maintenance and repairs while avoiding equipment dismantling and transport to reduce downtime and labor costs.

Applications
Industrial plants, power generation, steel mills and heavy equipment maintenance where on‑site shaft turning and rapid repairs are required.

Product advantages

• Mounts on shaft end and rotates around the workpiece for in‑place machining.
• Heavy solid‑steel turning bar and counterbalanced body minimize chatter and ensure smooth turning.
• High metal removal capability: motor with planetary ring gear drive removes up to 0.125 in (3.175 mm) per pass.
• Power options: 3.08 Hp (2.3 kW) electric motor or 1.22 Hp (0.91 kW) pneumatic motor.
• Tool reach: 16.0 in (406.4 mm) standard; up to 22.0 in (558.8 mm) with optional turning bar extension.
• Working envelope: 16.75 in (425.5 mm) swing diameter around shaft; up to 36 in (914.4 mm) from shaft end.
• Automatic axial feed: 0.003–0.011 in/rev (0.076–0.279 mm/rev) in 7 increments for controlled cutting.
• Quick setup: mounts to shaft end with tapered mounting flange; drilling and tapping of four holes required; experienced operator can set up in under an hour; adjusting screws allow precise centering and alignment.
