WEILER DZ45AG CNC LATHE

This is a high-performance 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a 6.3-inch chuck capacity and accommodates bar stock up to 1.65 inches in diameter, making it suitable for medium-sized component production. With a maximum turning diameter of 9.45 inches, the lathe can handle parts up to this radial dimension without interference. The dual-axis configuration (X and Z) provides fundamental machining capability, where the X-axis controls part diameter by moving the tool inward and outward, while the Z-axis manages cutting length along the workpiece. Powered by a robust 28.8 horsepower spindle motor, the machine delivers substantial cutting force necessary for efficient material removal on demanding applications. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, this lathe balances power and speed for versatile turning, threading, and facing operations. The inclusion of a sub-spindle enables advanced part handling and secondary operations without workpiece repositioning, significantly enhancing productivity for complex manufacturing. Equipped with a SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D CNC control system, the machine provides precise computer-controlled tool path execution and repeatability to achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. The absence of a tailstock indicates the machine is optimized for bar feeding operations and high-volume production runs rather than chuck-only workholding applications.
