1986 DAH LIH DLMCV1350 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1986 Dah Lih DLMCV1350 is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Dah Lih Machinery Industry Co. of Taiwan, representing the company's heavy-duty large-format VMC platform from the mid-1980s. Built on a substantial cast iron base and column structure, the machine provides the structural rigidity needed for stable cutting across steel, cast iron, and large structural workpieces. The spindle delivers approximately 20 HP and operates at a maximum speed of 3,500 RPM, providing the high torque output suited to large-diameter face milling, heavy roughing, and boring operations characteristic of the era's heavy machining requirements. The working table measures 66.9 by 26.8 inches (1,700 by 680 mm) and supports axis travels of 53.1 inches in X, 24.8 inches in Y, and 27.6 inches in Z, providing a large work envelope for processing mold bases, fixtures, and large structural components. The Fanuc 0M CNC control delivers reliable G-code programming support appropriate for the machine's production period. The machine weighs approximately 21,560 lbs, reflecting its heavily constructed cast iron build that contributes to cutting stability and vibration damping. As a large-format VMC from Dah Lih's early production era, the DLMCV1350 represents a capable platform for large-part machining operations where rigidity and work envelope are the primary requirements.
