Machine Description
The WABECO D6000 is designed for users who require greater turning capacity while maintaining exceptional machining accuracy. Its wider bed, increased centre height and extended centre distance make it ideal for larger workpieces, shafts and precision-engineered components.
Built around a diagonally ribbed cast iron bed with hardened and ground guideways, the machine provides outstanding rigidity, vibration damping and long-term precision.
Prismatic Cast Iron Bed
The D6000 features a heavy-duty prismatic bed manufactured from diagonally ribbed grey cast iron. The guideways are inductively hardened and precision ground to ensure excellent wear resistance and long-term machining accuracy.
- Diagonally ribbed grey cast iron construction
- Inductively hardened guideways
- Precision-ground sliding surfaces
- Excellent vibration damping and rigidity
- 180 mm bed width for increased stability
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 cast iron headstock incorporates a hand-scraped V-guide system and two adjustable precision DIN tapered roller bearings to ensure exceptional spindle stability and machining accuracy.
A quiet belt drive system provides smooth power transmission while minimising vibration and operating noise.
