WEILER DA 260 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The WEILER DA 260 is a robust conventional horizontal lathe engineered for precision turning and threading operations. This universal machine features a maximum turning diameter of 535 mm (21.06 inches) with a turning length capacity up to 2,000 mm (78.74 inches), accommodating various workpiece sizes. The spindle assembly utilizes a DIN 55027/ISO 702-3 Size 6 head with a 71 mm bar passage, enabling efficient stock material processing. Operating at speeds up to 2,500 RPM with a maximum power output of 10.5 kW, the DA 260 AC delivers high torque and drive performance suitable for demanding production requirements. The machine incorporates a frequency converter enabling infinitely variable speed control with digital display for operator convenience. The 260 mm center height provides excellent accessibility while the swing diameter over the bed reaches 535 mm, with 345 mm over the cross-slide. Standard equipment includes a main spindle brake, lead and traction spindle cover, and toolmaking accuracy conforming to DIN 8605 standards. The machine's solid grey cast iron bed construction ensures high stability and torsion resistance during machining operations. With two axes of control and a single-point tool slide configuration, this lathe excels in traditional turning, facing, and threading applications across manufacturing and training environments, delivering decades-proven precision and reliability.
