MFG Machinery CD160 Economical CNC Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL)

Fixed Crossbeam, Square Ram & Integrated Coolant for Cost-Effective Heavy Machining

Product Overview
The MFG Machinery CD160 is a heavy-duty, highly cost-effective single-column CNC Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL) designed specifically for maximum material removal on a budget.

Engineered with a highly rigid fixed crossbeam, a robust square ram, and a heavy-duty single-block tool post, it eliminates unnecessary automated complexities to deliver pure, uncompromised cutting stability.

Unlike basic dry-machining models, the CD160 comes equipped with an integrated coolant system alongside its streamlined open-style splash guarding.

This significantly expands its application range, allowing for the aggressive wet machining of various ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. It is the ultimate economical solution for machine shops needing to turn large inner/outer cylindrical surfaces, conical profiles, and arcs without the premium price tag of fully-enclosed VTLs.

Key Features & Engineering Advantages

• Ultra-Rigid Fixed Crossbeam Architecture: The base, column, and crossbeam are cast from high-strength, vibration-absorbing iron into a symmetrical box-type structure. The fixed beam design inherently eliminates deflection, guaranteeing absolute structural stability and carrying massive torque during aggressive heavy metal removal.
• Heavy-Duty Square Ram: The vertical ram utilizes an optimized square cross-section. This robust geometry maximizes bending stiffness and minimizes deformation, giving the machine a distinct advantage when executing heavy roughing cuts and deep internal profiling.
• Maximum-Rigidity Single Tool Post: Instead of a complex automated turret, this machine features a heavy-duty single-block tool holder structure. While tool changes are manual, this design provides vastly superior clamping rigidity and is completely immune to the maintenance downtime associated with automated turrets.
• Anti-Stick-Slip Hardened Guideways: The large-span machine guideways are induction-hardened, precision-scraped, and meticulously ground. They are lined with a high-performance PTFE (Turcite-B) anti-friction coating to completely eliminate stick-slip, ensuring extremely low sliding resistance and long-term precision retention.
• Economical Design with Coolant Integration: Engineered to balance cost and versatility, the CD160 employs simple open-style splash guarding to lower initial investment costs. Crucially, it includes a standard cooling device, extending cutting tool life and flushing away chips during the heavy machining of tough steel alloys.
• Centralized CNC Operation: Equipped with an ergonomic, centralized machine tool operation panel. It allows operators to easily program, monitor, and execute machining cycles, ensuring efficient, fast, and highly reliable operations despite the machine's economical price point.
