Conventional lathe DL S 425/5000

horizontal3-axisfor heavy turning

The DL S lathe series is slightly smaller than the DL E Heavy, but is also designed for large turning diameters and workpiece lengths. It is the solution for conventional machining of workpieces up to 5000 mm (197 in.) in length and over 720 mm (28 in.) in diameter. The particularly wide and heavily ribbed machine bed accommodates the heavy workpiece weights. The multi-disc clutch gives the operator control over the dynamics of the spindle start-up and the rapid traverse in the support is particularly effective with large bed lengths. Center widths up to 5000 mm (197 in.) Spindle speed can be adjusted in 4 steps Rapid feed in Y and Z-direction Extra heavy, wide machine bed with heavy ribbing and one-piece mono-block construction Induction-hardened and ground guide slots ensure long-term accuracy and minimum wear Massive headstock with high-precision main spindle on a tapered roller bearing with 100 mm spindle bore for excellent stability under heavy loads Very quiet operation at maximum spindle speed Joystick control for X and Z feeds is mounted directly to support Manual 4-step auxiliary gearbox, premium frequency drive technology combined with main spindle motor ratings up to 7.5 kW allow exact tuning of speed and torque for heavy-duty machining Rapid feed for X and Z axis allow quick support positioning and less down-time Adjustable overload clutch in apron protects the feed mechanics from damages and failures Central, practical controls for feeds and thread leads The auxiliary gearbox features a wide spectrum of diametric, inch, module, and metric threads Support and top slide are designed for high cutting forces More accuracy Lower error rate
