DAINICHI M85X300 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC lathe designed for high-volume production of cylindrical components. The machine features a robust 21-inch chuck capacity with a maximum turning diameter of 19.69 inches and an impressive 118-inch machining length, accommodating long workpieces typical in shaft, bushing, and custom fitting production. With a 33.46-inch swing clearance, the lathe can handle large-diameter parts without interference from machine guarding. The 2-axis configuration operates along the X-axis (controlling radial diameter) and Z-axis (controlling axial length), making it ideal for symmetrical turning operations. Powered by a 40 HP spindle motor operating at a maximum of 1,800 RPM, the machine delivers substantial torque for demanding material removal tasks, particularly suitable for casting and forging operations. The integrated Fanuc 15TF conversational CNC control system enables precise computer-controlled machining while maintaining ease of programming. An included tailstock provides additional support for extended workpieces during machining, enhancing stability and accuracy. The machine's substantial 22,000-pound weight and 25-foot by 9-foot 8-inch footprint reflect its industrial-grade construction designed for continuous production environments. This lathe achieves precision levels to ±0.0005 inches with high repeatability, making it suitable for critical applications requiring consistent, high-quality components.
