This Monforts KNC 5 1000 is a used lathe — sometimes referred to as a centre lathe or turning machine — a type of machine tool used to rotate a workpiece against a cutting tool to perform turning, facing, boring, and threading operations to precise dimensional tolerances. Monforts is a well-established German manufacturer of precision machine tools with a long history of producing high-quality lathes and turning centres for the metalworking and engineering industries.
This example was built in 2001 and is located in Germany. It is equipped with the Monforts MTC-K control system, a proprietary CNC controller from the manufacturer, providing the operator with full numerical control over the machining process.
The machine offers a turning diameter of 500 mm and a turning length of 1000 mm, with a reduced turning diameter over the bed slide of 290 mm. The bed itself has a width of 360 mm. The spindle is driven by a 15 kW motor and operates across a speed range of 3 to 2800 rpm, delivering a maximum torque of 1530 Nm. The spindle bore measures 70 mm, accommodating a useful range of workpiece and bar stock dimensions, and the spindle head conforms to DIN 55027 size 8.
Axis feed force on both the X and Z axes is rated at 11,300 N, with rapid traverse speeds of 10 m/min longitudinally and 5 m/min on the face axis. The cross-slide travels 265 mm and the upper slide 140 mm. Turning tools with a shaft cross-section of 32 × 25 mm are accommodated.
The tailstock is equipped with an 80 mm quill diameter, a quill stroke of 160 mm, and a Morse Taper 5 socket, suitable for supporting longer workpieces or mounting drilling and boring tools.
Accessories included with the machine are a Rota-S Plus three-jaw chuck with a 250 mm diameter, a four-position PARAT turret toolholder, and a coolant system. The machine weighs approximately 3.1 tonnes and has overall dimensions of 2.88 m × 1.68 m × 2.18 m (length × width × height).
