WEILER DZ42 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WEILER DZ42 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC lathe designed for versatile turning operations. It features a main spindle capable of a maximum turning diameter of 7.87 inches and a turning length of 11.81 inches, with a 6.3-inch chuck diameter and a maximum bar diameter of 1.65 inches. The main spindle operates at up to 6,000 RPM powered by a 20 HP motor. A sub spindle supports secondary turning with a maximum diameter of 3.15 inches and a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM. The primary tool carrier is a turret with up to 16 tool stations able to handle turning and rotary tools, with rotary tools offering 4 HP and speeds up to 4,000 RPM. The machine supports single simultaneous cutting tool use across three axes (X, Y, and Z), with travels of 7.87 inches (X), 7.87 inches (Y), and 13.58 inches (Z). Each axis has a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 944 inches per minute, enabling efficient, precise machining operations. The WEILER DZ42’s combination of spindle power, tool capacity, and axis travel makes it suitable for complex turning tasks on small to medium-sized parts, especially where flexibility and accuracy in horizontal machining are required. Its robust construction and turret tooling system facilitate effective high-speed and multi-tool machining in demanding industrial applications.
