Absolute Machine Tools will highlight the new You Ji AH-06/1000 Horizontal Lathe in IMTS 2014 booth S-8536. This machine was specifically developed to replace 30 year-old heavy duty turning machinery in the oil and gas industries. The machine features an extremely rigid 45 degree slant bed with a 55 degree cross slide inclination. The massive 12 station hydraulic turret handles the extreme torque delivered by the 60HP spindle motor and 3 speed geared headstock. The rigid spindle structure has a bar capacity of 6.05” (9” optional) with a 24” three-jaw hydraulic chuck. Turning capacities feature a maximum cutting diameter of 35.4” and a maximum turning length of 39” with optional turning lengths of 59”, 79”, 118”, and 157”. With a base machine weight of nearly 40,000 lbs. for the shortest bed length version, the AH-06 delivers the heavy cutting performance that customers in these industries require.
