A large electric motor repair facility was looking for more turning capacity. They needed a lathe strong enough to handle their heavy rotor turning, but also needed a machine with enough swing to handle the large end housings on their biggest repairs. Willis solved both of their challenges with this 70” swing over the bed machine with a gap allowing them to turn housings up to 78” diameter, and still having the ability to turn shafts up to 10’ in length on the same machine. In the end, this saved the customer a tremendous amount of money, and floor space in their shop.
