Machine Description
The WABECO D4000 H20 is built around a robust diagonally ribbed grey cast iron bed with inductively hardened and ground guideways. This rigid construction provides outstanding vibration damping, stability and long-term machining accuracy.
Designed for precision turning applications, the machine combines compact dimensions with professional-grade performance, making it ideal for workshops, training facilities and prototype manufacturing.
Prismatic Cast Iron Bed
The D4000 H20 features a precision-engineered prismatic bed manufactured from diagonally ribbed grey cast iron. The guideways are inductively hardened and precision ground to ensure long-lasting accuracy and smooth carriage movement.
- Diagonally ribbed grey cast iron construction
- Inductively hardened guideways
- Precision-ground sliding surfaces
- Excellent vibration damping and rigidity
Lead Screw & Feed System
The machine is equipped with trapezoidal thread spindles and a precision lead screw drive system for accurate feed control and thread cutting operations.
- Automatic longitudinal feed: 0.085 mm/rev
- Secondary automatic feed: 0.16 mm/rev
- Tumbler gear for left and right-hand threads
- Integrated overload clutch protection
- Thread cutting preparation as standard
Optional change gears enable the production of metric threads from 0.25 mm to 7.0 mm pitch and imperial threads from 10 to 40 TPI.
Headstock & Drive System
The headstock housing is manufactured from grey cast iron and incorporates a hand-scraped V-guide system for maximum precision.
The spindle runs in two adjustable precision DIN tapered roller bearings, ensuring excellent concentricity and machining accuracy.
A quiet belt drive system provides smooth power transmission and exceptionally low operating noise.
Tool Slide Assembly
The precision tool slide system features adjustable dovetail guideways with backlash-free adjustment and finely graduated handwheels for accurate machining control.
- Cross slide travel: 100 mm
- Longitudinal slide travel: 50 mm
