Knuth 29.5HP 118” DL E Heavy 800/3000 Universal Heavy-Duty Lathe 300512

Description

With the machines of the DL E Heavy series, you can machine really large turning diameters and workpiece lengths. This lathe series is the solution for conventional machining of workpieces up to 8,000 mm (315 in.) in length and over 1,600 mm (63 in.) in diameter. The particularly wide and heavily ribbed machine bed takes heavy workpiece weights. Powerful motors drive the main spindle via a finely adjustable multi-disc clutch. The rapid traverse in the support is particularly effective with large bed lengths and the heavy tailstock is also moved with a motor drive.
