Lathe Machine, Heavy Duty

IMT lathes are designed and manufactured under the guidance and supervision of technically qualified and experienced hands. Before machines go out of workshop they pass through numerous stringent test. Constructional features: the lathe bed is designed to the specifications, which provide great strength to resist torsional strains. It is made from closed grain alloy cast iron to resist wear and maintain accuracy over a long period. The two inverted 'V' and flat ways of the bed are accurately machined and ground maintaining the parallelism throughout; the strongly constituted headstock is of frictional and stream lined design. The spindle is made out of high tensile steel and preciously ground it runs on high preciously antifriction taper roller bearings. Drive belt from counter affixed for near side of headstock, provides smooth and quiet operation for lifetime. The carriage has large bearing surface minimizing the force per unit bearing area and hence wear on the bed ways. It is guided for high accuracy and positive alignment by the inverted 'V' and flat ways. Wedges are provided to facilitate the adjustment to be made for compensation of wear. The apron is provided with safety inter-lock, which prevents simultaneous engagements of feed and threading mechanism. Both the sliding and surfacing feeds can be engaged by tightening the star knob and accordingly setting the position of the feed lever. The tailstock has long bearing on bed and base is adjustable for taper turning. A standard morse taper spindle hole allows the use of drills and reamers with MT-3 shanks. Standard accessories: chuck plate; change gear sets for inch and mm threads; thread dial indicator; 2 dead centres; centres sleeves for spindle; and square tool post and spanner.
