The Celoria CD FM 650 sliding headstock lathe is a machine tool particularly suited for the production of small, high-precision parts. Thanks to its ability to work with thin and long bars, it is ideal for sectors such as micromechanics, electronics machining, and the production of complex parts for the automotive and aerospace industries.

Main technical features:

• Axis travel : X: 80 mm, Y: 420 mm, Z: 120 mm.
• Bar passage : 40 mm, which allows you to work bars up to this diameter.
• Spindle hole diameter : 47 mm.
• Year of construction: 2007.
• Type : CNC sliding headstock lathe, with high precision and flexibility.

How it's made:

The sliding headstock lathe uses a system in which the axial movement of the bar is controlled by the sliding headstock , which pushes it back and forth during the machining process. The tools are arranged around the cutting area and move radially relative to the workpiece. This type of machine offers great rigidity and precision, reducing vibration and improving the quality of finished parts.

Main components:

• Mobile headstock : Moves the raw bar to ensure correct positioning with respect to the tools.
• Guide bushing : Keeps the workpiece centered during machining, eliminating radial play.
• Radial tools : Arranged in a 360° layout around the workpiece to perform simultaneous machining on multiple surfaces.
• Base : Built to tight tolerances, often hand-scraped to ensure ideal flatness.

Workable materials:

The lathe can work with various types of materials, mainly metals such as steel, brass, copper and aluminium, making it versatile for various industrial applications.

Maintenance:

Good maintenance includes regular lubrication of guides and tool inspection to prevent vibration or accuracy defects. Periodic inspection of the bar feeder and the accuracy of the guiding systems are essential to ensure optimal and long-lasting performance.

How to recognize a good used one:

• General Condition : Check the condition of the sliding headstock, guide bushing, and radial guides. The absence of significant play or wear is an indicator of good condition.
• CNC Functionality : Make sure your CNC is working properly by testing different cutting operations.
• Documented Maintenance : Check the maintenance history and whether the spare parts used are original or of equivalent quality.

Sectors of use:

The sliding headstock lathe is mainly used in sectors such as micromechanics, automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where great precision is required on small, complex parts.

Buying a used lathe like the Celoria CD FM 650 can be a convenient choice thanks to its excellent cost-performance ratio, especially if it is a well-maintained model and still capable of offering precision and reliability in machining.
