DAINICHI W16 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The DAINICHI W16 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for large-scale precision turning operations. It features a robust main spindle with a 98.43" maximum turning diameter and 433.07" maximum turning length, accommodating substantial workpieces. The machine is equipped with a 35" chuck diameter and 118.11" maximum swing capacity, operating at 250 RPM with 75 HP output. The three-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) provides comprehensive machining flexibility, with optional four-axis capability for enhanced versatility. Standard X-axis travel reaches 36", expandable to 100", while Z-axis travel extends to 119", with optional extension to 435". All axes deliver rapid traverse rates of 157 ipm, ensuring efficient cycle times. The turret-based tool carrier accommodates up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, enabling single-point simultaneous cutting operations with precise tool indexing. This configuration allows for complex turning, threading, grooving, boring, and milling capabilities in a single setup. The machine's substantial loadbearing capacity between centers supports workloads up to 16,000 kg (35,200 lbs), making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and heavy industrial components. DAINICHI's extensive experience in large-scale lathe design ensures outstanding reliability and usability for high-efficiency production runs of large, complex components.
