Sharp Industries Displays its B Series 4.5" Spindle Bore Engine Lathe at IMTS 2006



Torrance, CA - Sharp Industries, Inc. will display their B Series, a new line of geared head engine lathe with a 4.5" spindle bore at the IMTS show in Booth A-8474. These rigorous B Series lathes have a D1-11 camlock spindle and a swing capacity of 22", 26", and 30". Their center distance range up to 160" between centers. The B Series' machine beds are made from one-piece Meehanite castings. The quick-change gearbox, easy dial thread selections, and automatic lubrication are just some of the excellent features. Standard equipment of the B Series lathes include 4-jaw chuck, coolant system, face plate, steady rest, follow rest, full length splash guard, chuck guard, halogen light, 4-way tool post, motorized saddle (on longer models), and a heavy-duty tailstock.

Sharp Industries, Inc. is a member of the AMTDA and has been a major supplier of machine tools in the United States for over 30 years with over 150 distributors nationwide including Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada.

FEATURES:
o The "B" models are equipped with D1-11 camlock spindle, 4.5" spindle bore. Other models are equipped with D1-8 camlock spindle, 3.1/8" bore.
o The spindle is mounted on 2 precision tapered roller bearings and one ball bearing. This triple bearing support system ensures accuracy and rigidity at all times.
o The headstock can be adjusted for heavy irregular work piece at high speed turning to ensure vibration free operations.
o Handles that are used for engaging gears are built with locking pins to prevent the handles from being knocked out of place accidentally or under heavy cutting circumstances. Pulling the spring-loaded handle back and then shift does repositioning of handles.
o The universal gearbox design allows easy selection of inch and metric threading by just turning the lever to the assigned position instead of changing individual gears outside the headstock.
o A rotational style lever that results in less movement of the gears compare with the back-and-forth shifting style lever does selection of gears at the gearbox. Less movement of the gears means less wear and greater accuracy.
o The gapped bed design allows extra large work piece to be chucked at the spindle when the gap is taken out.
o Bed ways are induction hardened and ground for durability.
o Headstock gears are hardened and ground, made out of Chrom-Moly alloy steel for maximum wear.
o The headstock is equipped with a job button that allows inching movement of the spindle for easy engagement of gears.
o One shot lube system is installed in the apron to direct lube oil to all the sliding surfaces.
