Description

Overview
The DL S 515/3000 is a conventional heavy-duty lathe designed for large-diameter turning and long workpieces. It is suitable for machining workpieces up to 3,000 mm in length and for turning diameters over the bed up to 1,000 mm. A wide, heavily ribbed mono-block bed supports high part weights while maintaining rigidity and long-term accuracy.

Highlights
  • Max workpiece length: 3,000 mm
  • Spindle bore: 100 mm
  • Main drive: 22 kW
  • Spindle speed adjustable in 4 steps
  • Rapid feeds on X and Z axes
  • Supplied with assembled 3-axis position indicator

Key product details
  • Extra-heavy, wide mono-block machine bed with deep ribbing for high stiffness
  • Induction-hardened and ground guideways for long-term precision and minimal wear
  • Massive headstock with high-precision spindle on tapered roller bearings (A2-11)
  • Manually shifted 4-step gearbox combined with frequency control for precise rpm tuning and high torque
  • Joystick control for X and Z feeds mounted directly on the support
  • Adjustable overload clutch in the apron protects feed mechanics
  • Support and top slide sized for high cutting forces
  • Wide range of thread leads: diametral, inch, module and metric

Standard equipment
  • 3-axis position indicator X.Pos 3.2
  • Ø 1000 mm independent 4-jaw face plate chuck (with one set of hard jaws)
  • 4-station tool holder (45×45 section)
  • Steady rest 50–470 mm
  • Follow rest 30–120 mm
  • Dead centres and reducing sleeve
  • Chuck guard with interlock
  • Toolpost protective shield
  • Coolant system, foundation bolts, work lamp
  • Operating tools and manual
