DMG MORI USA, INC. SPRINT 20/8 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The DMG MORI SPRINT 20/8 is a precision horizontal production turning center engineered for automatic high-speed machining of small to medium-sized components. This Swiss-type lathe accommodates workpieces up to 0.8 inches in diameter and 23.6 inches in length, delivering complete machining operations within a compact footprint of under 2 square meters. The machine features dual spindles—a main spindle and counter spindle, each rated at 10,000 rpm and 3 hp—enabling simultaneous operations on both ends of the workpiece for enhanced productivity. The 8-axis configuration includes 6 linear axes and 2 C-axes, providing multi-directional tool positioning and rotational control. The system incorporates 25 total tool stations with 8 driven tool stations as standard, each operating at 6,000 rpm with 1.2 hp capacity, allowing up to three tools to work simultaneously for accelerated cycle times. The FANUC 32i control system with a 10.4-inch color display manages dual control channels and includes an optional Tool Monitoring System with graphical load display. The machine achieves exceptional rigidity and accuracy through large ball guideways with balanced distances, integrated spindle motors with direct measuring systems, and a thermo-symmetric machine bed design. Additional features include automatic bar feeding capability, C-axis live tool functionality on both spindles, free chip fall design, and optional SWISSTYPEkit for flexible short and long-part turning applications.
