Design Aesthetics Meet Performance

Design aesthetics meet performance in this lathe, the G-07, from DMG MORI WASINO (dmgmori-usa.com). The first aspect is clear from the exterior lines. The second is found in the specs. Consider: the lathe achieves a dimensional accuracy of 3 μm even from a cold start and it provides a circularity of 0.5 μm. 

 

It has axis travel of 480 mm X and 285 mm Z. The maximum turning diameter is ø 170 mm and the bar work capacity is ø 38.1 mm. It has a 5-in. chuck. The X rapid is 12 m/min; it’s 20 m/min for Z. The maximum spindle speed is 6,000 rpm; there is a 5.5-kW spindle drive motor. A gantry-type tool post essentially reduces indexing time to zero.
