ProfiTurn H

Waldrich Siegen horizontal turning lathes, ProfiTurn H, provide the highest accuracies, reliability and performance, allowing for high quality and economic machining of complex workpieces. Great importance is attached to a rugged design and maximum stiffness of the overall machine structure. In principle the ProfiTurn H series is equipped with hydrostatic guideways in all linear axes providing for high, wear free operation along with excellent damping characteristics.

ProfiTurn H

Overview

Maximum stiffness of the overall machine structure is crucial for achieving highly precise machining results. Therefore, ProfiTurn H lathes are of very rugged design. All major components are made of high-quality cast iron and manufactured in house at the highest tolerances in order to guarantee the accuracies, reliability and long lifetime

Waldrich Siegen machines are known for. By consequently integrating hydrostatical guide ways which gives you significant advantages: elimination of friction, wear free and zero backlash guide ways as well as best damping characteristics even during heavy cutting.

We offer: Machines in one and two carriage design Integration of additional technologies like milling, turn-milling, grinding, drilling, measuring different combinations of tool carriers tool change / change of various attachments.

Key Benefits

Machine technology individually tailored to your requirements

  • Machine beds

Waldrich Siegen machine beds made of cast iron are available in one-section or two section design. Their ribbed structure ensures maximum bending and torsional stiffness, as well as, an optimal load introduction into the foundation.Precise guidance of the bed slide and exact positioning of steadies, tailstock and peripheral equipment are completely guaranteed as well.

  • Headstock and faceplate

The headstock design is crucial for the achievement of the highest run-out accuracies and maximum performance. Therefore, it is cast in one piece and additionally ribbed. The axial and radial bearing placed close to the faceplate provides for the highest precision. Made of cast iron, as well, the faceplate can accommodate workpiece weights of up to 500 tons. State of the art drive systems like the Master-Slave-drive, for example, enable the optimal machining of workpieces with the highest precision and performance.

  • Hydrostatic guideways and drives

Either a hydrostatic worm or an electrically pre loaded master/slave double drive is used for longitudinal drive. Traverse adjustment of the upper carriage is carried out via a pre-loaded ballscrew. With the extremely high dynamic stiffness of the hydrostatic worms which allows for heavy duty cutting machines, WaldrichSiegen sets new standards in the market.

  • Upper carriage with tool carriers

Waldrich Siegen turning lathes meet the requirements for the highest stiffness and accuracy by means of an optimized upper carriage made of cast iron which can be adapted to the respective machining tasks. A suitable combination of tool carriers in different widths allows the machine to be adjusted for each customer's request.

  • Tailstock and counterstay

Even the tailstock is a closed one piece construction made of ribbed cast iron. Well dimensioned anti-friction bearings accommodate the center shaft resp. the quill in order to achieve excellent run out accuracies. The tailstock systems are designed for workpiece weights of up to 500 tons.
