CK6160 CNC Lathe: A Reliable Turning Solution for General Shaft and Disc Part Machining
The CK6160 CNC lathe is a widely used CNC turning machine suitable for shaft parts, threaded components and medium-size mechanical workpieces. It provides stable machining accuracy and continuous production capability for modern manufacturing workshops.
As manufacturing industries increasingly demand consistency and productivity, many workshops are transitioning from manual lathes to CNC turning equipment. The CK6160 CNC lathe is developed as a practical entry-to-mid level CNC turning solution that balances machining capacity, stability and ease of operation.
The machine adopts a rigid horizontal bed structure, providing a stable support foundation during cutting. During turning operations, cutting forces are transmitted directly into the bed casting, minimizing vibration and improving surface finish. This makes the machine suitable for machining medium-diameter shafts, sleeves, flanges and threaded components.
Compared with traditional manual lathes, the CK6160 significantly improves dimensional repeatability. Once the machining program is created, the operator can repeatedly produce identical parts with minimal deviation. This is especially important in industries such as agricultural machinery, pumps, valves and mechanical transmission components where interchangeability of parts is required.
The spindle system supports both rough cutting and finish turning. For rough machining, it can remove material efficiently, while for finishing operations it maintains stable rotation and controlled feed to achieve smooth surfaces. With appropriate tooling, the machine can perform external turning, internal boring, grooving and threading operations in a single setup.
Another advantage of the CK6160 CNC lathe is simplified operation. Operators only need to set tool offsets and load programs, after which the machine automatically completes the machining cycle. This reduces operator fatigue and lowers the skill barrier for new technicians entering CNC machining.
The machine is also suitable for small-batch production. When producing different parts in short runs, operators can quickly modify parameters instead of performing complex mechanical adjustments. This flexibility helps workshops respond to custom orders and urgent repair parts.
From a production management perspective, CNC turning also improves scheduling. Because machining time is predictable, workshops can estimate delivery dates more accurately and reduce production uncertainty.
In daily use, chip removal and lubrication systems help maintain cutting stability and extend tool life. Combined with regular maintenance, the machine can operate reliably for long periods of continuous work.
Overall, the CK6160 CNC lathe offers an effective solution for workshops upgrading from manual turning to automated machining while maintaining manageable investment and operational simplicity.
