Recently, Shanghai ANTS received a customization request for a two-column vertical lathe from a client in the UAE. The client primarily processes heavy-duty rotary parts, specifically targeting large-diameter, high-load-bearing workpieces. They specified the following core boundary conditions: table diameter 1800-2000mm, maximum cutting diameter 2000-2200mm, cutting height 1200-1400mm, maximum table load capacity 8 tons, maximum table speed 120r/min; power supply 380V 3 50Hz. The client also considered equipment from the EU, Taiwan, Japan, and mainland China, seeking a model that balances performance and economy, and requested a compatible model, a complete technical parameter table, and the best commercial quote.
Based on the client’s processing conditions and budget, we selected a single-column vertical lathe as the optimal economic model, fully covering all of the client’s key specifications. This machine features a 1800mm diameter worktable, a maximum cutting diameter of 2000mm for the vertical tool post, a maximum workpiece machining height of 1250mm, and a maximum workpiece load of 8000kg, perfectly matching customer machining dimensions and load requirements. The worktable speed range is 3.2-100r/min, capable of handling rough and finish turning of most heavy workpieces. Power supply is compatible with the 380V 3 50Hz Middle Eastern industrial power grid standard.
Core Mechanical Body Hardware Configuration:
- Worktable: Worktable diameter Φ1800mm, 16-speed variable speed, speed range 3.2-100r/min, maximum load capacity 8000kg, high torque output, suitable for heavy-duty rotary machining of castings and forgings;
- Tool Post: Maximum cutting diameter Φ2000mm, maximum cutting force 25000N, maximum torsional torque 35000N・m; 15 feed levels, feed range 0.1-311mm/min, rapid traverse 2000mm/min;
- Crossbeam: Crossbeam travel 900mm, crossbeam lifting speed 660mm/min;
- Ram cross section 240×180mm; main motor power 37KW; total machine weight 17000kg;
- Optional configuration: Side tool post (horizontal travel 630mm, vertical travel 900mm), used for composite machining of workpiece internal and external surfaces and end faces.

Core Advantages of the Solution:
- Performance Matching, High Load Capacity and Heavy Cutting: The 8-ton load capacity of the worktable and high torque output are suitable for roughing and finishing heavy-duty disc and flange workpieces for customers in the UAE; the 16-speed mechanical speed control of the worktable provides high torque at low speeds, balancing heavy cutting and finishing.
- Flexible Configuration and Cost Control: The side tool holder is an optional configuration, allowing customers to choose whether to add it based on their actual processing needs, ensuring economical and controllable equipment investment and avoiding unnecessary costs.
- Power Grid Adaptability: The entire machine is designed according to the 380V 350Hz standard, directly adapting to local industrial power supplies in the Middle East without the need for additional large transformer modifications.
- Mature Machine Structure: The rigid frame structure and 240×180mm slide section resist heavy cutting vibrations, ensuring the dimensional stability of the workpiece during processing.
