CNC automatic lathe with linear motor driven axes incorporates every feature to facilitate highly efficient, complete machining of long workpieces.

The new 'Speed' 32-10 linear automatic lathe from DMG incorporates every feature to facilitate highly efficient, complete machining of long workpieces typically for the automotive, hydraulic and pneumatic, electronics and medical engineering sectors. It combines the latest linear drive technology for the highest and safe dynamic response with a maximum precision tolerance of 0.0015mm on the outside diameter. The re-designed work area allows machining with up to three tools in simultaneous operation resulting in maximum productivity and flexibility for both simple and complex parts up to 33mm in diameter.

A number of features contribute to this superior performance in addition to the two linear drives.

These provide acceleration along the axes from 0 to 40m/min in just 0.04s significantly reducing idle times.

Also important to the machine's design are the main and counter spindles whose integrated motors with mechanical collet operate independently at speeds up to 12,000 rev/min.

The 16i TB Fanuc Series controller ensures optimum machine performance.

The new 10.4in colour display, PCMCIA and Windows interfaces enhance the ease of operation and allow efficient communication with higher-level networks.

The Speed linear Series with sliding headstock has the ability to be upgraded based on double-sided machining with five-, seven-, nine- or even ten-axes technology with two spindles and two carriages.

The machine can also be equipped for thread whirling, slanted milling or deep hole drilling.
