This Monforts KNC 5 1500 is a used lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning machine or engine lathe — a machine tool designed to rotate a workpiece against a cutting tool to produce cylindrical, tapered, or profiled components with precision. Monforts is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing high-quality machine tools for the metalworking and precision engineering industries.
The machine is equipped with the Monforts Control system running Euro Turn software, providing a dedicated CNC control environment suited to precision turning operations. The spindle accepts workpieces up to 500 mm in turning diameter over the full turning length of 1,500 mm, while the turning diameter over the bed slide is 290 mm. The spindle bore measures 70 mm, and the spindle head conforms to DIN 55027 Grade 8. The spindle speed range spans from 3 to 2,800 rpm, delivering a maximum torque of 1,530 Nm and driven by a 15 kW spindle motor. Feed force on both the X and Z axes reaches 11,300 N, with rapid traverse speeds of 10 m/min longitudinally and 5 m/min on the face axis.
The bed width is 360 mm, with a cross-slide travel of 265 mm and an upper slide travel of 140 mm. The turning tool shank accepts a cross-section of 32 × 25 mm. The tailstock is fitted with an 80 mm quill diameter, a quill stroke of 160 mm, and a Morse Taper 5 (MT 5) taper, making it suitable for a range of centre and drilling operations.
The machine weighs approximately 3.3 tonnes and has overall dimensions of 3.45 m × 1.65 m × 1.93 m (L × W × H), giving a clear indication of the floor space and handling requirements involved.
Included accessories are a Röhm Rota-S plus three-jaw chuck of 250 mm diameter, a four-position PARAT toolholder, and a coolant system. The machine is located in Germany and is offered in used condition from the year 2000.
