KNUTH DL E HEAVY 1000/5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH DL E Heavy 1000/5000 is a horizontal heavy-duty machining center designed for large-scale turning operations. It features a main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 79 inches and a maximum turning length of 197 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces. The machine is equipped with a single main spindle powered by a robust 40.2 HP motor, delivering significant torque for heavy machining tasks. It supports simultaneous cutting with up to two tools, enhancing productivity in complex machining operations. The Z-axis travel extends to 189 inches, providing a wide range of longitudinal movement suitable for long workpieces. The design includes a heavily ribbed, wide machine bed that reduces vibrations and supports heavy workpiece weights, ensuring precision and stability during machining. Additional features typically include a spindle bore around 5 inches and a robust tailstock system with motorized positioning for steady support. This machining center is optimized for high-power, high-precision applications in industrial environments requiring machining of large diameters and lengths, combining substantial motor power, extended travels, and advanced cutting capabilities for enhanced productivity and operational reliability. Its substantial dimensions and weight underline its capacity for handling heavy and large workpieces efficiently.
