DL E Heavy 500/5000

SKU : 300502

With the machines of the DL E Heavy series, you can machine really large turning diameters and workpiece lengths. This lathe series is the solution for conventional machining of workpieces up to 8000 mm (315 in.) in length and over 1600 mm (63 in.) in diameter. The particularly wide and heavily ribbed machine bed takes heavy workpiece weights. Powerful motors drive the main spindle via a finely adjustable multi-disc clutch. The rapid traverse in the support is particularly effective with large bed lengths and the heavy tailstock is also moved with a motor drive.

  • Center widths up to 8000 mm
  • Spindle bore of 130 mm
  • Powerful motor
  • Rapid feed in X and Z directions
  • Complete with assembled 3-axis position indicator
