Expanded Series of Automatic Lathes



SPRINT 32|5

The SPRINT 32|5 comes with five linear axes and a C-axis on the main spindle and has two independent tool carriers with space for up to 22 tools. There are four pockets available for powered tools for radial machining on the main spindle.

DMG MORI has expanded its series of automatic lathes equipped with a SWISSTYPEkit to include the SPRINT 32|5 and SPRINT 32|8 for bar material with diameters of up to 32 mm. The SPRINT models with SWISSTYPEkit are capable of machining both short and long components. DMG MORI debuted the SPRINT 32|5 and the SPRINT 32|8 offering an expansion option with two additional axes.

The SPRINT 32|5 and SPRINT 32|8 feature a footprint of just 2.8 m2, while at the same time offer a large work area for workpieces of up to o 32 mm x 600 mm.

"The two new SPRINT models derive their versatility from the SWISSTYPEkit, which enables both short and long turning on one machine - with setup times of less than 30 minutes," said a company spokesperson. "To achieve this the spindle stroke is lengthened from 100 to 240 mm. An optional quick tool-change system reduces set-up times by another 20%."

The SPRINT 32|5 comes with five linear axes and a C-axis on the main spindle and has two independent tool carriers with space for up to 22 tools. There are four pockets available for powered tools for radial machining on the main spindle.

The expansion option SPRINT 32|8 is built for the machining of more complex workpieces. The machine has an additional Y-axis for the second tool carrier plus a C-axis for the counter-spindle. The SPRINT 32|8 is equipped with a total of six linear axes and two C-axes and has 28 tool pockets. This expansion option of the machine has a third independent tool carrier that is suitable for deep hole drilling on the main spindle, for example, and that also enables 4-axis machining on the main spindle. These two stations can also be equipped optionally for powered tools. The second tool carrier has eight pockets for rear-side machining, four of which are equipped for powered tools. There are pockets for in total up to 10 (eight in the standard version) powered tools.

In the SPRINT 32|5, the two-channel CNC control - a FANUC 32i-B with 10.4" color display - controls five linear axes altogether and the C-axis of the main spindle. The SPRINT 32|8 has six linear axes and a C-axis on both the main and the counter-spindle. "Both expansion options can be used to realize complex and - in combination with the machine technology - high-precision applications," said the spokesperson.

GILDEMEISTER Italiana has installed high-performance motor spindles with direct drives throughout, which can handle even materials that are difficult to machine. There is a high-pressure coolant supply with up to 120 bar available for demanding machining.

As the SPRINT 32|5 and the additional SPRINT 32|8 expansion option have been developed with the aim of minimizing unit costs for the machining of bar material, the list of optional equipment also includes an unloading unit for workpieces with lengths of up to 600 mm.
