DMG MORI USA, INC. SL 603 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DMG MORI SL 603 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-rigidity CNC lathe designed for heavy-duty precision turning of large workpieces. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 36.6 inches and a maximum turning length of 118.1 inches, supported by a 24-inch spindle chuck and a spindle max swing of 38.2 inches. The spindle delivers up to 50 HP with maximum speeds of 1,500 RPM, enabling stable and powerful machining operations. Its primary tool carrier is a turret equipped with up to 12 tools for both turning and rotary tool applications, with rotary tooling capable of reaching 3,000 RPM to support complex milling and end-face machining tasks. The machine operates with two axes (X and Z), offering X-axis travel of 19.1 inches and optional Z-axis travel up to 161.4 inches, with rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute across all axes for fast repositioning. The sturdy bed construction employs slideways on all axes, with a triangular saddle and trapezoidal bed design that maximize machine rigidity and stability during cutting. Additional features include synchronized tapping, programmable tailstock, and the capability for heavy-duty and long shaft work. This lathe is engineered for precision and efficiency in machining large, long, and complex parts, supported by digital controls and automation options for enhanced productivity in factory environments.
