CK6150×1000 CNC Lathe: Specifications, Applications and Buying Guide

Introduction

For many workshops, a CNC lathe must be reliable, easy to operate and flexible enough to handle different types of parts. The CK6150×1000 CNC lathe is designed for medium-size turning applications such as shafts, sleeves, flanges, bushings, threaded components and general machinery parts.

With a 500 mm maximum swing over bed, 1000 mm nominal length and 82 mm spindle bore, this model provides a practical balance between machining capacity, floor space and cost. It is especially suitable for customers who need a universal horizontal CNC turning machine for both single-piece machining and small-to-medium batch production.

What Parts Can the CK6150×1000 CNC Lathe Machine?

Shaft Parts

The machine has a 1000 mm nominal length and a 1000 mm distance from spindle to tailstock, making it suitable for drive shafts, motor shafts, rollers, hydraulic rods and other medium-length shaft parts. When machining long workpieces, the tailstock can provide additional support to improve stability and reduce vibration.

Sleeves, Bushings and Pipe Components

The spindle bore diameter is φ82 mm, and the maximum bar diameter through the spindle is φ80 mm. This is important for customers who process bar stock, pipe fittings, bushings, couplings and hydraulic connectors. A larger spindle bore can reduce pre-cutting work and improve continuous processing efficiency.

Flanges and Disc-Type Parts

The 500 mm maximum swing over bed gives the machine enough space for many disc-shaped and flange-type components. Customers should also check the maximum swing over slide, which is φ290 mm, because the actual machining envelope depends on the tool post position, chuck size and clamping method.

General Mechanical Components

The CK6150×1000 can be used for turning outer diameters, inner bores, end faces, tapers, grooves, arcs and threads. It is a practical choice for machinery manufacturing, maintenance workshops, pump and valve parts, automotive components and general metalworking applications.

Key Advantages of the CK6150×1000 CNC Lathe

Large Spindle Bore for Bar and Pipe Work

A φ82 mm spindle bore and φ80 mm bar capacity give the machine strong flexibility for long bars and tube parts. For workshops that frequently process bars or pipe materials, this feature can help reduce repeated clamping and improve efficiency.

Three-Gear Spindle Speed Range

The spindle speed is divided into three ranges: 45–180 r/min, 180–750 r/min and 600–1600 r/min. The low-speed range is useful for larger diameter workpieces and heavier cutting, while the medium and high ranges are suitable for smaller parts, finishing, threading and general turning operations.

Stable Structure for Medium Cutting

The machine has a 400 mm guideway width and a weight of approximately 2600 kg. This structure helps improve cutting stability, especially when machining steel shafts, cast iron parts and medium-size components that require reliable support during turning.

Practical X and Z Axis Travel

The maximum X-axis travel is 295 mm and the maximum Z-axis travel is 1000 mm. These travels cover many common turning tasks, including external turning, facing, boring and threading within the machine capacity.

How to Choose the Right CK6150×1000 CNC Lathe Configuration

Confirm Workpiece Diameter

Customers should check the maximum raw material diameter, finished part diameter and clamping diameter. It is not enough to only look at the maximum swing over bed. The swing over slide, chuck size, tool clearance and fixture design must also be considered.

Confirm Real Machining Length

Although the nominal length is 1000 mm, the maximum turning length on chuck is 850 mm. When a part is close to the machine limit, customers should also consider chuck clamping length, tool approach space, tailstock center length and machining allowance.

Confirm Bar Diameter

For bar-feeding or through-spindle machining, the material diameter should be within the φ80 mm bar capacity. If the raw material has surface irregularity, bending or larger tolerance, it is better to leave additional clearance rather than selecting based on the absolute maximum value.

Confirm Material and Cutting Requirement

Different materials require different cutting torque, tool selection and coolant conditions. For aluminum, brass and mild steel, standard cutting conditions are often suitable. For stainless steel, alloy steel or heavy rough turning, it is recommended to confirm motor power, tooling, clamping method and rigidity requirements before ordering.

Confirm Production Mode

For single-piece or repair work, simple operation and flexible programming are important. For batch production, options such as hydraulic chuck, automatic lubrication, chip conveyor, bar feeder or automatic loading system may improve production efficiency.

Who Should Consider the CK6150×1000 CNC Lathe?

Application Fit

This model is suitable for users who need to machine parts within a 500 mm swing over bed, parts within a 290 mm swing over slide, turning lengths up to about 850 mm on chuck, and bar or tube materials up to φ80 mm through the spindle.

Typical Users

The machine is a good option for metalworking workshops, machinery repair factories, shaft manufacturers, pump and valve part suppliers, hydraulic component producers and general CNC machining companies that need a cost-effective medium-size horizontal CNC lathe.

Conclusion

The CK6150×1000 CNC lathe combines a 500 mm maximum swing over bed, 1000 mm nominal length, φ82 mm spindle bore and 45–1600 r/min spindle speed range. It is a practical and versatile turning solution for shafts, sleeves, flanges, bushings and many medium-size mechanical parts. Before purchasing, customers are advised to provide part drawings, material, workpiece weight, accuracy requirements, surface finish and planned production quantity. With this information, the most suitable CNC system, chuck, tool post and optional accessories can be selected for the actual production needs.
