This Meuser is a CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a CNC turning machine — a machine tool used for rotating workpieces against a cutting tool to produce cylindrical, conical, and profiled components with high precision. Meuser is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building heavy-duty, large-capacity lathes suited to demanding industrial sectors such as energy, shipbuilding, and general heavy engineering.
This particular machine dates from 2001 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in France. It is a flat-bed CNC lathe controlled by a Fagor 8055 CNC unit, a well-regarded controller commonly found on large industrial turning machines and offering straightforward, reliable operation for heavy-duty turning work.
The machine's working envelope is substantial. The distance between centres measures 7,000 mm, making it well suited to turning long shafts, rollers, and similar elongated workpieces. The maximum turning diameter over the bed is 1,750 mm, while the swing over the carriage — the usable turning diameter with the cross-slide in place — is 1,400 mm. The centre height stands at 880 mm, consistent with these large-swing figures. A four-jaw chuck of 1,400 mm diameter is fitted, providing secure clamping of large, irregular, or asymmetric workpieces.
The spindle bore measures 100 mm, allowing bar stock or through-tools to pass directly through the spindle. Spindle speed is variable from 1 to 400 RPM, a range that reflects the machine's orientation toward large-diameter, heavy-stock work where low speeds and high torque are typically required. The tailstock is motorised, improving efficiency and reducing operator effort when working with long or heavy components; its taper is MT 6, suitable for large-dimension centres and tooling. The maximum admitted load between centres is 10 tonnes, confirming the machine's capacity for very heavy workpieces. A square manual turret is also present for tool indexing.
