The 1M5 series dual-column vertical turret lathe (carousel machine) is heavy machine-tool equipment for turning very large rotational parts — turbine components, mining-equipment rings, ship and energy machinery elements. The series covers faceplate diameters from 2800 to 5600 mm and machines workpieces up to 8000 mm in diameter, a size class in which only a handful of manufacturers worldwide operate.
In a vertical turret lathe the workpiece rotates on a horizontal faceplate while tooling moves on cross-rails between two columns; this geometry carries extreme workpiece weights that horizontal lathes cannot support, which is why carousel machines remain irreplaceable in energy, mining and heavy engineering despite their capital cost. Russian heavy machine-tool building has a long production history in this class, and machines of this type are classified alongside vertical machining centres in 3–4 axis configurations.
Priced from $90,000 with a single-unit minimum order, the 1M5 addresses machine-tool importers, plant modernisation projects and heavy-industry enterprises replacing or expanding large-part turning capacity. For buyers, the essential value is access to large-diameter machining capability at a cost level substantially below Western European equivalents.
