Overview
The C6132/C6160 is a versatile manual lathe suitable for turning shafts, flanges and cylindrical parts. It handles workpiece diameters from 320 mm to 600 mm, provides reliable performance and user-friendly mechanical controls for general machining, workshop repair and light manufacturing.

Key Features

• Flexible Size Range: C6132 max turning Ø320 mm; C6160 max turning Ø600 mm.
• Large Swing over Saddle: up to Ø800 mm — ideal for short, wide-diameter parts and complex contours.
• 52 mm Spindle Bore: supports moderate-diameter hollow shafts and bar materials.
• Easy-to-Use Mechanical Layout: traditional manual controls and gearbox feed for low learning curve and high usability.
• Robust Bed and Guideways: long-lasting precision and vibration resistance during tougher cuts.

Recommended Configurations

• Spindle: High-precision spindle options (e.g., SKF, NSK).
• Chuck: Three-jaw chuck with chuck protection device; optional manual four-jaw independent chuck.
• Drive System: belt drive or motor drive options.
• Turret: single turret with square tool post.
• Cooling System: conventional or built-in cooling system.
• Support: steady support, follow rest available.
• Other Options: center rest, protective cover design, manual tailstock, work light.

Application Case

• Client: Equipment repair center (Eastern Europe).
• Machine in case study: C6160 with 3-jaw chuck and steady rest.
• Use case: shaft repair, sleeve boring, pipe-end threading.
• Performance notes: achieved concentricity within ±0.03 mm; easy operation with minimal training; durable under continuous two-shift operation; gearbox changes smooth and consistent threading.
