Heavy lathe
A Bernardo heavy lathe is designed for large, long and equally heavy components. It must offer a considerably higher cutting performance. Nevertheless, it must be possible to guarantee the same precision for large and heavy components. The machine bed should be very rigid and low in vibration. For this reason, the bed of heavy lathes is provided with strong ribs to stiffen the bed guide and minimize vibrations. The heavy duty lathes which you can find in our BHM-Maschinen Onlineshop are designed for components up to 10.000 kg. You will get only high quality Bernardo heavy duty lathes from us.
