Sunmaster is recognised for its technical expertise and its focus on precision, reliability and sustainable design. Since its inception in 1994, the company has built a strong international reputation through innovative design, extensive development work and modern manufacturing.
Models such as the AHL-1880, FC-1860 and RML-1640 are examples of support lathes that combine robust cast iron construction with advanced engineering solutions. The machines are designed to fulfil high demands on accuracy and stability in demanding production environments.
Features such as powerful motors, automatic lubrication and a stabilised machine bed help to reduce vibrations, ensure smooth running and a long service life.
A support lathe is a lathe equipped with an additional support unit - a so-called support or tailstock - that provides stability when machining long and slender workpieces.
This design reduces vibration and the risk of deflection during machining, which is essential to achieve high precision and good surface finish.
Support lathes are mainly used for the processing of:
Shoulders
Spindles
Pipes
Rods and other long narrow components
They are particularly suited to applications where dimensional accuracy and stability are crucial.
In addition to support lathes, there are several other types of lathes for different industrial needs:
Boring Mill - Machines for precise drilling and machining of larger components, often with vertical movement of the tool.
Vertical Turning Lathes - Vertical lathes for large and heavy workpieces with a large diameter.
CNC lathes - Computerised machines that enable automated and highly precise machining of complex parts.
The choice of machine type depends on the geometry, dimensions and automation requirements of the part.
As a dealer of Sunmaster support lathes, we offer carefully selected machines adapted for Nordic industry. We combine technical expertise with long experience and help you find a solution that provides stable, precise and cost-effective machining.
