Who uses the APOLLO 1000 × 3000 and for what
The Bernardo APOLLO 1000 × 3000 is a workshop parallel lathe for machining large workpieces: with Ø 1,000 mm over the bed and a center distance of 3000 mm, it handles shafts, rollers, flanges, and structural components that do not fit in standard 500–600 mm lathes. The 130 mm spindle bore allows large-section bars to pass through. The standard 3-axis digital readout eliminates reading times and improves repeatability of dimensions. The speed range from 3.15 to 400 rpm covers everything from heavy turning with large tools to precision finishing. In Krollit customer workshops, it is used by industrial repair shops, equipment manufacturers, and machining centers for large components.
Who is the Bernardo APOLLO 1000 × 3000 for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Hobbyist | Not suitable | Large industrial lathe not suitable for hobby use. |
| Professional machine shop | Ideal | Ø 1,000 mm, 3000 mm between centers, workpiece weight up to 6,000 kg: for machining large components that standard lathes cannot handle. |
| Industrial production | Ideal | 3-axis digital readout, 24 speeds, full threading range: the lathe for repair shops and production of large components. |
Not suitable for: workpieces over Ø 1,000 mm; hobby use; workshops without experience turning on large machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the standard 3-axis digital readout include?
The digital readout measures and displays the positions of the X (cross), Z (longitudinal), and Z1 (top slide) axes in real-time with 0.001 mm resolution. It allows zeroing the position at any reference point and directly reading the target dimension without manual calculations. It significantly reduces reading errors and setup times compared to traditional verniers.
What is the difference between APOLLO 1000 × 1500, × 3000, and × 5000?
The three models have the same specifications for Ø (1,000 mm), spindle (ISO A2-15, 130 mm bore), speeds, and feeds. They differ only in the distance between centers (1,500, 3,000, 5,000 mm) and consequently in the Z-axis travel (1,300, 2,800, 4,800 mm). The choice depends on the maximum length of workpieces to be turned.
What diameter bars can pass through the 130 mm spindle bore?
The 130 mm spindle bore allows bars up to approximately Ø 125–127 mm (with tolerance for play) to pass through. For large-section bars, this feature is essential for machining long workpieces without having to cut them beforehand.
Are assistance and spare parts available in Italian?
Customer support in Italian available. Original Bernardo spare parts with 3–5 business day shipping.
What kind of foundation does a lathe of this size require?
A lathe with a workpiece weight of up to 6,000 kg and a 3000 mm bed requires a reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural engineer for the specific site. Coordinate with Krollit for machine weight specifications and anchoring instructions before ordering.
