DAINICHI M132 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Dainichi M132 is a CNC horizontal turning machine designed for heavy-duty machining applications. It features a single main spindle capable of turning workpieces up to 35.430" in diameter with a maximum length of 787.400". The machine is equipped with a 35.000" chuck and offers a maximum swing of 51.970" over the bed, accommodating large components. The spindle operates at speeds ranging from 1-500 rpm, with an optional 750 rpm configuration, driven by a 60 HP motor. The machine utilizes a turret-mounted tool carrier with capacity for up to 12 turning tools, with simultaneous cutting capability for one tool at a time. Its 2-axis CNC control system provides precise X and Z-axis control, with both axes delivering maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 157 ipm. The X-axis offers 36.000" of travel, while the Z-axis provides 39.370" of standard travel, expandable to 787.400" with optional configuration. This configuration allows for extended center distances, making the M132 suitable for producing long shafts and cylindrical components. The machine's robust construction and turret-based tool system enable efficient turning, facing, and grooving operations with high repeatability. The combination of extended workpiece capacity, powerful spindle, and reliable CNC control makes this machine ideal for medium to large-scale production runs in automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing environments.
