Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Campro CPL-3520 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Big-bore turning is the job of the Campro CPL-3520. This box-way CNC lathe has an A2-15 spindle nose, a Ø165 mm (Ø6.4 in) hole through the draw tube, a 20 in chuck and a top speed of 1,000 rpm.
Those four figures describe a pipe and large-ring machine. The spindle bearing diameter is 240 mm (9.4 in), the largest in Campro's lathe range, and a 24 in chuck can be ordered. At 1,000 rpm the machine is not meant for small diameters; it is meant to hold a large, heavy part securely and cut it at the modest speeds large diameters call for. The drive is gear type with a 22 / 26 kW (35 HP) motor.
In envelope it matches the CPL-3518 closely. Maximum turning diameter is Ø700 mm (27.5 in), swing over the bed Ø900 mm (Ø35.4 in) and X travel 355 + 30 mm. The bigger headstock takes a little length: standard turning length is 2,050 mm (80.7 in) here, with bed options of 1,400 mm (55.1 in) and 3,000 mm (118.1 in). Tooling in the 8-station turret is □32 / Ø60 mm (O.D. / I.D.).
Campro states that the ways are precision ground box ways with scraped Turcite-B. Rapids are 20 m/min in X and 15 m/min in Z on the standard bed. The tailstock quill is Ø150 mm (Ø5.9 in), MT-#6.
The standard machine weighs 13,100 kg (28,880 lb) and covers 6,433 x 2,542 mm (253 in x 100 in) with its chip conveyor. Power capacity is 40 kVA and coolant capacity 450 L (118 gal).
