DAINICHI DL65/75 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DAINICHI DL65/75 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust precision CNC lathe designed for heavy-duty turning operations. It features a main spindle capable of a maximum turning diameter of 18.9 inches and a turning length up to 157.48 inches, accommodating large workpieces with a maximum swing capacity of 29.53 inches. The spindle accepts a chuck diameter of 15 inches and is powered by a 15 HP motor, with an optional upgrade to 20 HP for enhanced torque and performance. The spindle speed is fixed at 1,120 RPM, ensuring consistent cutting conditions. This machine is equipped with a turret-type primary tool carrier supporting up to four turning tools, allowing for flexible tooling options though only one tool operates simultaneously. Its two-axis configuration provides X-axis travel of 15 inches (upgradable to 19 inches) and Z-axis travel of 20 inches, with rapid traverse rates of 59 inches per minute in both axes for efficient machining cycles. The bed construction uses a double-walled, ribbed monocast design for durability and high precision, while the headstock features a low-speed, high-torque operation enabled by a two-step gear change, suited for heavy cutting. A 1500 kg-capacity tailstock with a Morse Taper No. 5 center enhances support for long workpieces, contributing to machining stability. Operator interface includes conveniently positioned hand controls and multiple menu-driven options for ease of operation. The DL65/75’s design balances power, precision, and flexibility, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing environments requiring extended length turning and consistent performance.
