The reinforced bed with a width of 1100 mm and the MT 7 spindle nose define its operating range: machining of shafts, profiles, and cylindrical parts in heavy industrial workshops with dedicated gear changes for heavy-duty operations. The configuration with 2-400 rpm gear change and MT 7 connection defines this as heavy industrial: machining of considerably sized parts in the naval and energy sectors. The maximum diameter in the gap of 1,800 mm allows turning of large flanges and discs that the 1,600 mm swing over bed would not accommodate. In Krollit customer workshops, the Apollo 1600 x 8000 is chosen by industrial mechanical workshops, shipyards for repair and reconstruction of axles and shafts, manufacturers of components for turbines and generators, and workshops specializing in precision turning on heavy parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apollo Bernardo family is the line of heavy-duty parallel lathes for industrial applications. It consists of 12 models organized by swing over bed (1000, 1250, 1600, 2000 mm) and distance between centers (1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 8,000 mm). Industrial 1600 family (this model): MT 7 spindle taper, 1,100 mm bed, 18-22 kW motor, 2-400 rpm spindle speed with gear change. Suitable for heavy industrial machining with dedicated gear change for high torque on bulky parts. The difference with Apollo 1600 x 3000 (family with ISO A2-15): the MT 7 version has a heavier structure and lower speeds for higher torque, sized for continuous industrial applications. The difference with the 2000 family: same 1,100 mm bed and MT 7 connection, but smaller swing over bed and gap diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit Logistics and Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days for Southern Italy).
