High Precision Lathes for the Automotive Industry



WASINO A 150Y|18

WASINO G 100|480

WASINO, a brand of AMADA MACHINE TOOLS CO., LTD, develops and constructs compact high-precision production lathes for the automotive and optical industry among others. DMG MORI took over the lathe business of AMADA last year and the models that are popular in Japan are now also being integrated in the global sales and service network of the machine tool manufacturer. DMG MORI introduced the A 150Y|18 and G 100|480 recently as examples from WASINO.

"WASINO lathes benefit from a consistent construction that focuses on stability and precision," said a company spokesperson. Flat and V-guides help ensure damping performance in this connection while minimum distances between spindle, tool and guideways maximize rigidity and thermal stability. In addition, the work area with its stainless steel covers is completely decoupled from the machine bed, which minimizes temperature influences.

WASINO's A-series is built for machining complex workpieces. DMG MORI introduced the A 150Y|18 as an example of this series. It features a thermal displacement during a cold start of 4 µm and a circularity accuracy of 0.8 µm.

Equipped with 18 tool stations, the A 150Y|18 can accomplish 6-sided complete machining of complex components - including turning and milling. Despite its compact design its offers a large work area with large travel paths: 180 mm in the X direction, 350 mm for the Z-axis and in the 100 mm Y-direction.

"With its G-series, which DMG MORI introduced in the form of the G 100|480, WASINO has the right solutions for hard turning and finishing in sequential manufacturing processes," said the spokesperson. This lathe has a symmetric structure with respect to the spindle center. Its low center of gravity and horizontal guideways, V-guideways in the Z-axis and dovetail guideways in the X-axis help ensure thermal stability and rigidity. Three µm thermal displacement during a cold start as well as a circularity accuracy of 0.5 µm are features of this machine.

The compact design of WASINO lathes is also a trademark of the G 100|480. With travel paths of 480 mm in the X-direction and 285 mm in the Z-direction it offers an ample work area. Its maximum turning diameter is o 170 mm. The rapid traverse of the G 100|480 achieves rates of 12 m/min in the X-axis and 20 m/min in the Z-axis. On top of this, it has a speed of 6,000 RPM.

As part of an efficient manufacturing system, the G 100|480 can be equipped with numerous automation features. These include among others loading and unloading units and conveyor belts. A chip conveyor and extraction system are also offered.
