OERLIKON DM6S-D29 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The OERLIKON DM6S-D29 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for precision turning operations on large workpieces. This industrial-grade machine features an impressive swing capacity of 92.5 inches, enabling the machining of substantial components with diameters up to that specification. The extended distance between centers reaches 393.7 inches, accommodating exceptionally long workpieces and providing significant longitudinal working length for complex turning tasks. The spindle bore measures 2.76 inches, offering compatibility with standard tooling and work-holding accessories. Operating at 250 RPM, this lathe delivers substantial torque and cutting force necessary for heavy-duty material removal on cast iron, steel, and other demanding materials. The swing over the cross slide is rated at 74.8 inches, allowing adequate clearance for tool positioning and workpiece manipulation. The machine incorporates a conventional control system typical of manual lathes, requiring skilled operator technique for precise dimensional accuracy. Its robust construction with reinforced bed ways ensures rigidity and dimensional stability during extended production runs. This lathe is ideally suited for job shops, foundries, and manufacturing facilities requiring capable machinery for large-scale turning operations, prototype development, and production runs of industrial components including rolls, shafts, and cylindrical structures. The OERLIKON DM6S-D29 represents the pinnacle of conventional lathe engineering, combining size, capability, and reliability for demanding industrial applications.
