WEILER DZ40AG CNC LATHE

This is a precision 2-axis CNC lathe equipped with Computer Numerical Control via a SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D SL system, designed for high-speed turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a 6.3-inch chuck capable of securing bar stock up to 1.65 inches in diameter, making it suitable for small-to-medium component manufacturing. With a maximum turning diameter of 7.09 inches and spindle speeds reaching 6,300 RPM, the lathe accommodates a wide range of part geometries while maintaining rapid cycle times. The 15.6 horsepower motor provides sufficient torque for aggressive cutting operations on various materials, though the 2-axis configuration limits complexity to standard turning, threading, and facing operations without requiring workpiece repositioning. The inclusion of a sub-spindle enhances operational efficiency by enabling simultaneous machining from opposing ends, reducing setup time and improving throughput for production runs. The absence of a tailstock indicates this machine is optimized for shorter workpieces and bar-fed operations rather than extended length turning. The SIEMENS control system ensures high repeatability and precision tolerances, capable of achieving accuracy levels to ±0.0005 inches for critical aerospace, medical, and automotive applications. This configuration represents an ideal solution for shops requiring reliable, efficient production of precision cylindrical components with minimal operator intervention.
