KNUTH DL E HEAVY 1000/2000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KNUTH DL E HEAVY 1000/2000 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for precision metalworking applications requiring substantial cutting capacity. The machine features a single main spindle with dual 40.20 HP motors, delivering robust power for demanding machining operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a maximum turning diameter of 79 inches and turning length of 79 inches, the spindle accommodates large workpieces common in aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing sectors. The machine supports simultaneous dual cutting tool operation, enabling multi-axis simultaneous machining to reduce cycle times and improve productivity on complex parts. The Z-axis travel of 71 inches provides substantial vertical traverse capability, combined with the horizontal spindle orientation characteristic of this machine class, allowing comprehensive access to multiple workpiece faces from a single setup. The design incorporates rigid structural elements and precision linear guidance systems typical of modern horizontal machining centers, optimized for thermal stability and repeatability. Equipped with automatic tool changing and NC control capabilities, this machine streamlines production workflows for batch and high-volume operations requiring consistent accuracy. The KNUTH DL E HEAVY platform represents an ideal solution for shops performing complex cavity work, deep pocket machining, and multi-surface operations where traditional vertical centers prove inadequate, delivering enhanced rigidity and cutting performance characteristic of European heavy-duty machine tool engineering.
