DALIAN DL-40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Dalian DL-40 is a horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning operations with substantial workpiece capacity. It features a single main spindle with dual 2,000 RPM ratings at 30 HP each, optimized for high-torque, low-speed machining typical of large component production. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 29.5 inches in turning diameter and 98.4 inches in length, with a maximum swing of 31.49 inches and a 15-inch chuck diameter, making it suitable for processing large cylindrical parts and shafts. The slotted disc turret tool carrier holds up to 12 tools with single simultaneous cutting capability, providing versatile tool access for complex multi-operation cycles. With 2-axis control, the DL-40 delivers 14.76 inches of X-axis travel and up to 85 inches of Z-axis travel (expandable to 124.4 inches), both with feed rates and rapid traverse capabilities of 472 ipm. This configuration enables efficient longitudinal and radial positioning for precision turning, facing, and boring operations. The machine's rigid construction and powerful spindle torque are engineered for sustained production runs on ferrous materials and heavy forgings, making it an economical choice for job shops and contract manufacturers producing large-diameter, long-length components requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability.
