KNUTH SINUS 400/1500 D HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH Sinus 400/1500 D is a precision universal lathe engineered for heavy-duty machining applications, featuring a maximum workpiece length of 59 inches and a turning diameter of 31 inches over the bed. Built on a heavy, one-piece cast machine bed with hardened guide ways exceeding HB 400 hardness, this machine delivers high accuracy and low-noise operation even under high cutting power. The lathe is equipped with a 10.1 HP motor driving a spindle with a 4-inch bore capacity, operating at speeds from 25 to 1,600 RPM across 16 speed stages. The spindle features a D1-8 mount and 5 MT taper, accommodating large diameter workpieces. The machine incorporates a manual multi-disc clutch for friction connection between motor and spindle, ensuring reliable torque transmission. The X-axis provides 16.5 inches of travel with a rapid traverse rate of 79 inches per minute, while the Z-axis delivers 9 inches of travel. The removable 12.5-inch bed bridge enables machining of parts up to 35 inches in diameter. The top slide features a 70-degree swing range, facilitating taper turning and complex geometry operations. Additional capabilities include integrated rapid traverse, manual central lubrication, and a removable bridge system for enhanced versatility. Overall dimensions measure 128 inches in length by 45 inches in width and height, with a total weight of 7,084 pounds, reflecting the robust construction designed for precision and durability in production environments.
