Heavy lathes, also known as heavy universal lathes, are special type of lathes designed for machining large and heavy workpieces. They are particularly suitable for use in the manufacturing industry, especially in areas such as power generation, oil and gas, mining and heavy engineering. Heavy-duty lathes have a long table length and high spindle power. They are capable of machining workpieces with large diameters and lengths and enable precise machining of large and heavy workpieces. They have a strong construction and are able to withstand high loads. Heavy-duty lathes are equipped with various tools, such as milling cutters, taps, templates and drills, which allow them to perform different types of machining operations. They are often used in the manufacturing industry for the production of large and heavy parts such as turbines, ship propellers, generator shafts and large tools.
