Conventional lathes

Features and specifications of conventional lathes

Conventional lathes are designed with specifications that ensure they are the perfect outcome for metalworking.

With a wide spindle bore, users can handle large workpieces. The wide beds offer the ability to handle heavier and larger objects, which is necessary for industrial applications.

The accuracy of conventional lathes is guaranteed by finely adjustable hand wheels. This makes it possible to precisely control the depth of cut and movement along the workpiece control, resulting in a precise and high-quality finish.

Hardened guides contribute to the durability of the machine. They reduce wear and maintain precision over longer periods, this is important for consistent production output.

Different types of conventional lathes

Here is a brief overview of the different types of conventional lathes offered by Huvema:

• LTC series: A high-quality entry-level model, ideal for beginners and small workshops. Perfect for basic turning tasks with a capacity of up to 750 mm between centres.
• HUVEMA PROFI lathes: Suitable for technical services and maintenance workshops that need an easy-to-operate, solid machine without the emphasis on high production.
• HUVEMA TOPLINE lathes: Designed for training centres and professional workshops. The Topline lathes can perform regular precision work and place high demands for quality and accuracy.

Accessories for the conventional lathe

Thinking about expanding your workspace and increasing the capabilities of your lathe? Huvema has a wide range of accessories that can make your machine more versatile and efficient. To increase precision, you can add a digital readout (DRO). A quick-change chisel holder, on the other hand, provides more convenience while working. In addition you will find various chucks and centres, both fixed and reciprocating, to support different operations.

Maintenance of conventional lathes

Maintenance of conventional lathes is crucial for maintaining their performance and longevity. Here are some maintenance tips:

• Lubrication: Ensure that all moving parts are regularly lubricated to minimise friction and wear.
• Cleaning: Clean the lathe thoroughly after use to remove metal chips and other debris that may accumulate.
• Inspection: Check belts and spindles for signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary.
• Repair: If there is a problem or something has broken, contact us and our mechanics will come to help you.

We want to make sure your lathe works well for as long as possible. That's why at Huvema we offer a one-year warranty and are always available for maintenance and support. For optimal maintenance, we recommend using hydraulic oil 46. Find more information in our blog on the right oil for your lathe.
