KNUTH DL E HEAVY 800/8000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KNUTH DL E HEAVY 800/8000 is a horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty, large-scale turning and milling operations. It features a main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 63.000 inches and a maximum turning length of 315.000 inches, allowing for machining of sizable workpieces. The center is equipped with a single main spindle powered by dual 29.5 HP motors, ensuring robust torque and consistent power delivery. It supports simultaneous use of two cutting tools to improve machining efficiency and reduce cycle times. The Z-axis travel extends up to 8.000 inches, providing substantial vertical machining range. This machine is engineered for precision and heavy machining applications typically requiring long spindle lengths and large diameters under demanding conditions. Its horizontal spindle orientation facilitates side cutting and efficient chip evacuation, enhancing machining stability and performance during extended operations. The dual spindle motor configuration and the capability to run concurrent tools indicate a design optimized for productivity in complex or large-volume metal component manufacturing. This horizontal machining center is suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, or heavy equipment manufacturing where large workpieces with extensive machining demands are common.
