The reinforced bed with a width of 1100 mm and the MT 7 spindle taper define the operational range: machining of shafts, profiles, and cylindrical parts in heavy industrial workshops with large workpieces. The configuration with 2-400 rpm gear changes, MT 7 taper, and 22-30 kW motor (selectable in configuration) represents the top of the Apollo range for heavy industrial applications. The maximum diameter over the gap of 2,300 mm handles industrial flanges, large disks, and gears for heavy machinery. In Krollit's customers' workshops, the Apollo 2000 x 8000 is chosen by industrial mechanical workshops, shipyards for shaft repair and reconstruction, manufacturers of turbine and generator components, 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 turning diameter over the bed (1000, 1250, 1600, 2000 mm) and distance between centers (1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 8,000 mm). Heavy industrial 2000 family (this model, top of the range): MT 7 taper, 1,100 mm bed, 22-30 kW motor (selectable), 2-400 rpm spindle speed with gear changes, 2,000 mm turning diameter over the bed, 2,300 mm maximum diameter over the gap. Absolute top of the Apollo Bernardo range for industrial applications. Alongside the 2000 x 8000 in the same family: Apollo 2000 x 2000, Apollo 2000 x 3000, Apollo 2000 x 5000. The choice in the 2000 family depends exclusively on the length of typical workpieces: 2,000 mm distance between centers for short workpieces, 3,000 mm for intermediate, 5,000-8,000 mm for long industrial workpieces (nautical shafts, energy profiles).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLogistics and Krollit support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South).
