KNUTH DL S 515/4000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH DL S 515/4000 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for large-scale component manufacturing and extended workpiece processing. This machine features dual main spindles, each rated at 630 RPM with 24.80 horsepower, providing substantial torque capacity for demanding cutting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spindle configuration accommodates workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 39.000 inches and an impressive turning length of 157.000 inches, making it suitable for long, cylindrical components requiring precision finishing. The A2-11 primary tool carrier ensures reliable tool positioning and rapid tool changes during production runs. With a Z-axis travel of 150.000 inches, the machine delivers exceptional vertical workpiece envelope, facilitating multi-axis machining of complex geometries without repositioning. The combination of high spindle power at low RPM delivers superior cutting force for heavy roughing operations and sustained productivity in high-volume applications. The 4000-series platform designation indicates advanced control systems and precision capabilities typical of modern CNC horizontal machining centers. This machine is particularly well-suited for aerospace, automotive, and industrial component production where dimensional accuracy, surface finish quality, and extended workpiece capacity are critical requirements. The dual-spindle configuration enables simultaneous or sequential machining operations, optimizing cycle times and reducing overall production time for large batches of similar components.
