The gearbox features high-quality spindle bearings and robust gears made of induction-hardened carbon steel. The gears and bearings rotate in an oil bath and are additionally lubricated where necessary with an oil pump for maximum durability. The hardened and precision ground spindle rotates smoothly and vibration-free. As standard, the machine is fitted with a DIN 55027 Bayonet connection. Optional Camlock (DIN 55029) or ASA (DIN 55026) fittings are available.
The Newall NMS800 digital readout offers fast and high-precision positioning to 0.01 mm accuracy. Thanks to its robust, dust- and waterproof ruler and encoder (IP67), this readout is perfect for harsh industrial environments. Additional functions such as programming multiple tool offset sets make working with the lathe easier and more efficient.
The ZMM variable-speed lathes are equipped with a Schneider variable speed drive that precisely adjusts the motor speed precisely adjusts the motor speed. This ensures fast upshifting, controlled braking and lower heat generation, which protects the motor and increases productivity. Moreover, you less shifting and the machine does not use a clutch. The result? More efficient work, less wear and maintenance, instant torque and stable performance, even in intensive and prolonged use. You effortlessly adjust direction of rotation and speed via the centrally located control panel on the support.
The feed case offers a wide range of feed rates and thread sizes such as metric, inch, modul and DP (diametral pitch). The clear control panel makes operation simple and efficient.
The machine is equipped with mechanical power supply on the x and y axis and built-in overload protection to prevent damage. In addition, the machine has Ijlgang function on the support for fast movement.
The loose head is easy to move along the bed rails and can even be mechanically or electrically adjustable. For extra versatility, the spindle in the loose head can be equipped with a switchable transmission (1:1 or 1:4). With a lever, you choose between direct drive or a delayed transmission, depending on the operation. This offers more control and power, for example when drilling or tapping large diameters.
The lathes can optionally be expanded with various useful options
For example, the machine bed can be fitted with a removable bag, allowing even extra-large workpieces to be easily machined be easily machined. In addition, it is possible to replace the spindle intake with a camlock system and additional safety features, such as a foot pendulum emergency stop, can be added. Below is an overview of some extensions/modifications.

Thanks to European production, we can deliver a number of models directly from stock or with a short delivery time.
Robust machines with an eye for quality and precision
Each ZMM lathe is constructed of grey cast iron from a single casting (monolithic) and features reinforcement ribs that minimise vibrations and maximise maximise stability. This ensures accurate machining and extends the life of the machine. All components are subjected to strict quality controls. In addition, only high-quality bearings are used, ensuring smooth operation and constant precision, even in long-term use. Before delivery, all lathes are extensively tested and provided with an inspection report according to DIN 8607.
A solution for every application
ZMM offers different types of lathes tailored to specific applications and industries:
Universal lathes: Reliable machines with a turning diameter of up to 1,410 mm and a maximum length of up to 10 metres between centres. Available with variable or switched speeds. User-friendly, versatile and affordable.
CNC lathes: For serial and complex turning work. Equipped with controllers from FANUC, SIEMENS, HEIDENHAIN or FAGOR. For workpieces up to 1,320 mm in diameter.
Oil & country Lathes: Especially for the oil and gas industry. Extra robust, with stainless steel components, two 3-jaw chucks, cone device and suitable for various thread types (metric, inch, module, DP).
Top-quality lathes made in Europe
From casting process to final inspection, ZMM keeps every part of production in-house. All machines are built in Europe and are CE-compliant. ZMM not only produces the machines entirely in Europe, but also uses components from reputable suppliers, which ensures reliability, safety and long service life.
