Unlock Heavy-Duty Machining Potential with CK5225 CNC Double-Column Vertical Lathe

CK5225 CNC vertical lathe handles 10-ton, Ø2500mm workpieces for energy, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors.

Engineering Redefined: Core Capabilities

The CK5225 CNC double-column vertical lathe stands as a monument of modern industrial engineering, designed to handle workpieces up to Ø2500 mm (98.4 inches) in diameter and weighing up to 10 tons—equivalent to machining a small carousel. Its hardened double-column structure delivers exceptional rigidity, absorbing heavy cutting forces up to 35 kN without deflection, ensuring precision even under maximum load.

Powered by a 55 kW AC motor and 16-speed gearbox, the worktable rotates at 2–63 rpm (expandable to 2.5–80 rpm via frequency conversion). The spindle utilizes high-precision double-row cylindrical roller bearings combined with static pressure guides, minimizing thermal deformation while maintaining rotational accuracy within microns during prolonged operations.

Beyond Conventional Turning: Advanced Features

Multi-Axis Versatility: Equipped with ±30° swiveling tool posts and servo-driven feed systems (0.2–145 mm/min), the CK5225 machines complex geometries—including arcs, tapers, and deep grooves—in a single setup. Its square ram design with hydrostatic balance rods eliminates sag, ensuring consistent surface finishes even at full 1,400 mm horizontal travel.
Smart Thermal Management: All major castings use HT250 graded iron, stress-relieved through dual aging treatment (thermal + vibration). High-frequency quenched guides on columns and crossrails combat wear, extending machine life by 40% compared to conventional models.
Customizable Configurations: Operators can integrate milling heads, grinding spindles, or mobile work platforms for 32-ton payloads—transforming it into a hybrid machining center for all-in-one processing.

Real-World Applications: Where CK5225 Dominates

In energy sectors, it machines hydroturbine casings and nuclear reactor flanges requiring near-perfect circularity. Aerospace manufacturers rely on it for landing gear components, leveraging its 2,000 mm enhanced-height variant (optional) for extra-tall profiles.

One shipbuilder slashed lead times by 68% when machining propeller hubs—the CK5225’s 1550 mm/min rapid traverse and programmable coolant systems enabled uninterrupted roughing and finishing cycles.

Industry 4.0 Integration

The lathe supports FANUC, SIEMENS, or FAGOR CNC systems, providing real-time monitoring of cutting forces and adaptive feed control. Encoder-feedback servos and precision planetary gearboxes achieve positioning accuracy of ±0.01 mm, while onboard PLCs automate lubrication and safety protocols.
