Universal Metal Lathe CORMAK 500 × 1500YC

The CORMAK 500 × 1500YC universal metal lathe is a high-performance machine designed for precise and efficient machining of cylindrical components. Its robust construction, advanced mechanical components, and extensive standard equipment make it an excellent choice for production facilities, tool rooms, and maintenance departments.

Main Advantages of the Machine
Maximum turning diameter over bed: 500 mm – enables machining of a wide range of workpieces.
Large spindle bore: 105 mm – allows machining of long shafts, pipes, and large-diameter components.
Removable bed gap section – enables turning of components with diameters up to 710 mm.
Main motor power 7.5/9 kW – provides constant power even under heavy machining loads.
3-axis digital readout system (DRO) – improves machining accuracy and reduces the risk of positioning errors.
Rapid feed system – accelerates longitudinal and cross-slide movements (4.5 m/min and 1.9 m/min).
Hardened and ground spindle gears – ensure long service life and stable operation.
Wide range of threads without changing gears – supports metric, imperial, module, and DP threading.
Complete tooling package included – 7-piece 25 × 25 mm turning tool set and MT5 center, allowing immediate machine operation.
Construction and Technology

The 500 × 1500YC model is built on a heavy-duty cast iron bed with a width of 400 mm, which is induction hardened and precisely ground. This design provides excellent vibration damping, high rigidity, and resistance to twisting forces.

The spindle assembly is mounted on high-quality ball bearings, ensuring smooth and stable operation even at high rotational speeds. The machine is operated through an ergonomic control panel that allows convenient adjustment of spindle speeds and feed parameters.

Precision and Machining Performance

The integrated 3-axis digital position readout (DRO) provides the operator with full control over machining operations. Automatic feeds and threading functions are controlled through the lead screw and feed shaft system, while the mechanical threading dial allows quick and accurate return to the starting position.
