What This Machine Does
The C5112 is a single column vertical lathe, one of a family running C518, C5112, C5116, C5123, C5125 and C5131. Turning vertically means the workpiece sits on a horizontal table and its own weight helps hold it, which is why a heavy disc, wheel or flange is far easier to set up here than on a horizontal machine. Cutting capacity is strengthened compared with an ordinary lathe, so steel workpieces are within its normal range rather than at its limit. It carries a vertical tool holder and a side tool holder, so external and internal cuts can be taken without re-setting the part, and it covers internal and external turning and facing, internal and external tapering, slotting, drilling, boring and reaming. The table runs on a hydrostatic guideway and the spindle uses an NN30 grade D bearing, which gives precise rotation with good bearing load capacity. High-speed steel tooling suits ferrous, non-ferrous and some non-metallic materials.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Vertical table lets heavy discs wheels and flanges be loaded and clamped using their own weight
- Vertical and side tool holders cover external and internal cuts without resetting the part
- Hydrostatic guideway table carries load while keeping rotation smooth
- NN30 grade D spindle bearing gives precise turning with good load capacity
- Cutting capacity strengthened over an ordinary lathe so steel work is routine
- Internal and external tapering slotting drilling boring and reaming on one machine
- Six model sizes from C518 to C5131 so table size is matched to the part
Where Single Column Vertical Turning Lathe Machine C51 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Heavy discs are difficult and unsafe to clamp on a horizontal lathe chuck
- Setting up a large flange twice for face and bore loses concentricity between them
- Ordinary lathes struggle to hold steel workpieces at large diameter
- Plain guideways under a loaded table wear and the table loses its running accuracy
- Slotting drilling and reaming on separate machines multiplies handling on a heavy part
- A single machine size either wastes table capacity or refuses larger parts
Who It Is For
- Shops machining large diameter short parts that are awkward on a horizontal lathe
- Wheel and brake component manufacturers and repairers
- Valve and flange producers needing face and bore work in one setting
- Plant maintenance departments handling heavy rotating parts
- Importers supplying general industry with vertical turning capacity
Application Scenarios
- Turning and facing wheels discs and flanged housings
- Car wheel lathe work and severance cuts on rotating components
- Internal and external tapering of conical surfaces
- Slotting grooves in bores and faces
- Drilling boring and reaming holes on the centre line of a disc
- Machining ferrous non-ferrous and some non-metallic parts with high-speed steel tools

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Horizontal lathe of equivalent swing | A vertical table supports a heavy disc on its own weight, where a horizontal chuck has to hold it against gravity through the whole cut |
|---|---|
| Manual Vertical Turret Lathe C5225 | The C5225 is a double column machine for much larger diameters; the C5112 single column range suits medium parts and a smaller floor area |
| Plain guideway vertical lathes | The hydrostatic guideway carries the table load while keeping rotation smooth, which is what preserves running accuracy under heavy parts |
| Separate turning slotting and drilling machines | Doing face bore taper slot and hole work on one setting avoids repeated handling and keeps the features concentric |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the part on the table and check its run-out before starting the cut
Step 2
Set the vertical tool holder for face and outside diameter work and the side holder for internal cuts
Step 3
Allow the hydrostatic system to come up before rotating a loaded table
Step 4
Select speed and feed for high-speed steel tooling and the material in hand
Step 5
Take face bore and taper work in one setting so the features stay concentric
Step 6
Clear chips from the table regularly so clamping faces stay true
Step 7
Follow the lubrication and hydrostatic maintenance schedule

Questions About Single Column Vertical Turning Lathe Machine
What diameter can the C5112 turn?
The range runs from C518 to C5131 by table and cutting diameter. Send us your maximum part diameter, height and weight and we will confirm the model.
Why choose a vertical lathe over a horizontal one?
For short large diameter parts. The table supports the workpiece and clamping is simpler and safer than holding the same part in a horizontal chuck.
Can it machine steel?
Yes. Cutting capacity is strengthened compared with an ordinary lathe so steel workpieces are in its normal range, along with non-ferrous and some non-metallic materials.
Does it do more than turning?
It also handles internal and external tapering, slotting, drilling, boring and reaming, so many parts are finished in one setting.
What tooling does it use?
High-speed steel tools in the vertical and side tool holders. Tell us your materials and we will advise on the tooling package.
What voltage do you build to and how is it shipped?
Built for the voltage frequency and phase on your order, packed for export from Xi'an and shipped FOB CFR or CIF.
What are your payment terms?
30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
