Automatic description (AI-Generated)

This Colchester Triumph VS2500 gap bed centre lathe, manufactured around the year 2000, offers robust capabilities suitable for various machining tasks. It features a distance between centres of 1250 mm, allowing the machining of longer workpieces. The lathe provides a swing over the bed of 400 mm and a swing over the cross slide of 246 mm, with a swing in the gap measuring 585 mm, accommodating larger diameter components.

Equipped with a universal gearbox, the lathe supports longitudinal feeds ranging from 0.018 to 1.2 mm per revolution and cross feeds from 0.009 to 0.6 mm per revolution. It covers a wide range of thread pitches, including 56 English pitches (2 to 56 TPI), 20 diametrical pitches (8 to 56), 51 metric pitches (0.2 to 14 mm), and 20 module pitches (0.2 to 3.5).

The headstock includes a spindle with three speed ranges and infinitely variable speeds between 14 and 2500 rpm. It is powered by a 7.5 kW (10 HP) motor. The spindle nose is a 6-inch D.1 Camlock type, and the bore through the spindle measures 54 mm.

The tailstock features a barrel diameter of 73 mm and a travel of 140 mm, with a No. 5 Morse taper centre.

Included accessories are a HEIDENHAIN 2-axis digital readout (D.R.O.), chuck guard, 3-jaw chucks, quick change tool post with tool holders, thread indicator, bed stop, and coolant system. Note that the taper turning bracket is missing. The lathe was previously used in a university setting and has been serviced.

This machine is well-suited for precision turning and threading operations, offering versatility and a comprehensive set of features for industrial machining applications.
