Meyer Euroline EC Precision Centre Lathes
The Meyer Euro Line range of metal lathes continues with the high capacity EV, EX, and EC models, featuring wider bed designs and high-powered motors. The EX range includes the EX 1410 model, with a 1410mm swing over bed and, by special request, up to 9000mm distance between centres.
The EC models offer a very large bore through the headstock and can be supplied with additional free-standing steadies for working with longer material lengths. All models are available in a variable speed version, as well as with a wide range of optional features and accessories. As with the smaller models, these machines offer thread cutting in a large range of types and pitches.
