Vertical Lathes – Models 1512 & 1525

Vertical Boring Mills | Models 1512 & 1525

Heavy-Duty Industrial Turning | Large Diameter Capacity

Product Overview

The 1512 and 1525 series are legendary heavy-duty vertical turret lathes (VTL) designed for high-torque turning, boring, and facing of large, heavy workpieces. These machines feature a massive cast-iron construction and a high-load-bearing table, making them indispensable for machining components such as turbine housings, large flanges, and railway wheels. While the 1512 offers compact efficiency for diameters up to 1250mm, the 1525 extends the capability to oversized workpieces up to 2500mm, providing a versatile solution for heavy engineering workshops.

Technical Specifications Comparison

Engineering Excellence

• Rigid Twin-Column Design: Model 1525 utilizes a double-column structure for maximum stability during heavy-duty cutting.
• High Torque Headstock: Multi-speed gearbox designed for aggressive metal removal in forged steel and cast iron.
• Side Tool Head: Equipped with a horizontal side head (in most configurations) to allow for simultaneous machining of OD and faces.
• Hydrostatic Ways: Some refurbished versions feature hydrostatic table bearings for high-precision rotation under extreme loads.
