C Series Heavy-Duty Flatbed CNC Lathes

Romi C series heavy-duty flatbed CNC lathes are built with Romi made monoblock cast iron beds for optimal rigidity, accuracy and performance. The heavy-duty C Series includes nine models ranging from the C 1100H with a 28” (720 mm) swing over cross slide and 72-hp main motor, to the massive C 2600H with an 80” (2,030 mm) swing over cross slide, and a 155-hp main motor. All key components of Romi machine tools are designed and built in-house for complete control and assurance of manufacturing quality.

Romi’s line of heavy duty CNC lathes feature net weights ranging from approximately 39,700 lbs. (18,000 kg) to 134,500 lbs. (61,000 kg), maximum weight between centers from a generous 33,100 lbs (15,000 kg) to 110,200 lbs (50,000 kg), and maximum torque from 12,429 to 44,200 Nm.

The robust monoblock bed is made of gray cast iron and exhibits extreme rigidity. The cast iron headstock, also manufactured by Romi, features a spindle with Timken bearings.

Romi heavy-duty CNC lathes are powered by a high torque, continuously variable speed AC motor. The manually driven quill has a built-in live center with high precision bearings.

All models are built to reduce machine vibration and allow fast and accurate machining at full power. They are suitable for heavy applications in the mining, aerospace, steel mill and oil and gas industries.

Related Glossary Terms

  • centers

    centers

    Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.

  • computer numerical control ( CNC)

    computer numerical control ( CNC)

    Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.

  • milling machine ( mill)

    milling machine ( mill)

    Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters; a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes; and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps; vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. All take one of three basic forms: vertical, horizontal or convertible horizontal/vertical. Vertical machines may be knee-type (the table is mounted on a knee that can be elevated) or bed-type (the table is securely supported and only moves horizontally). In general, horizontal machines are bigger and more powerful, while vertical machines are lighter but more versatile and easier to set up and operate.
