ZMM Lathes

ZMM – Proven turning technology from Europe

ZMM is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of lathes and has decades of experience in machine tool manufacturing. Based in Bulgaria, the company develops and manufactures high-quality lathes for professional use in industry, trade and training.

ZMM machines are characterised by the robust construction, high precision and long service life. Thanks to their solid cast iron construction, powerful drives and reliable technology, they are suitable for both single-part production and repair, maintenance and production tasks. Metalworking companies worldwide rely on the quality and reliability of ZMM lathes.

Centre lathes

ZMM’s core range comprises conventional centre lathes for the versatile machining of a wide variety of workpieces. The machines are available both as classic universal lathes and as lead-screw and feed-screw lathes, and are suitable for turning, drilling, facing and threading operations in workshops and production environments.
Depending on the model, the machines are available with a gear-driven speed change or infinitely variable speed control. This allows the optimum cutting speed to be flexibly adapted to the material and machining task.

Features of the centre-point lathes
•    Robust cast iron construction for high stability
•    High precision and smooth running
•    Models with gear-driven speed change or infinitely variable speed control
•    Extensive thread cutting capabilities
•    Various centre distances and turning diameters
•    Suitable for single-part and small-batch production

Typical areas of application
•    Mechanical engineering
•    Metalworking
•    Locksmiths
•    Repair workshops
•    Training centres
•    Maintenance departments

Oil country lathes

ZMM oil country lathes are specially designed for machining tubes, bar stock and workpieces with large clearances. Thanks to their generously dimensioned spindle bores, they enable the cost-effective machining of long or large-volume workpieces that can only be machined to a limited extent on conventional lathes.

Advantages of oil country lathes
•    Large spindle bores for tubes and bar stock
•    Efficient machining of long workpieces
•    High stability for demanding applications
•    Ideal for pipeline and plant construction
•    Robust design for continuous industrial use

Typical applications
•    Pipe machining
•    Energy and power plant technology
•    Oil industry
•    Plant engineering
•    Heavy industry
•    Steel and metal construction

Cycle lathes

ZMM cycle lathes combine the flexibility of a conventional lathe with the advantages of a programmable control system. They are particularly suitable for single parts, small batches and repetitive production tasks where short set-up times and simple programming are required.
Thanks to the support of machining cycles, more complex turning operations can be carried out efficiently and reproducibly without having to sacrifice the flexibility of a manual machine.

Features of cycle lathes
•    Programmable machining cycles
•    High flexibility for single parts and small batches
•    Shorter set-up and machining times
•    Simple operation and programming
•    Precise and repeatable machining results

Typical applications
•    Tool and machine manufacturing
•    Contract manufacturing
•    Repair and maintenance workshops
•    Single-part production
•    Small-batch production
