The basic machine concept of the machines of series DV consists of two separate main sub-assemblies – these are the column unit and the faceplate / table unit. From these two sub-assemblies – designed as vertical lathe, machines were produced for combined machining operation (turning – milling – drilling – grinding).

They are used for machining rings for large diameter anti-friction bearings, roller slewing rings, toothed rings, special flanges or ring frames for aeronautical and astronautical equipment. Also vertical and outer machining of cylinders is possible.

Separation of the sub-assemblies makes variant solutions possible which can not be realized with conventional standard machines.

Ring-shaped work pieces to be machined are clamped with a special clamping device mounted to the faceplate of the machining center. Together with the faceplate drive, the machine is provided in total with four NC continuous path controlled motional axes.

All moving axes are provided with anti-friction elements, which are pre-stressed and free of backlash. They are guided on hardened steel block rails.

Special lathe tools are used for inside and outside diameter turning. These tools are clamped by an automatic tool clamping system with HSK-A 100 tool holding fixture.

For peripheral milling operation and milling on the inside, angular heads in exchange for turning tools can be automatically loaded and clamped by a changer unit. The angular heads are driven by the vertical milling spindle. The same tool holding fixture of the milling spindle is also used for clamping the lathe tools and is hydraulically and positively locked for turning operations.

Vertical machining centers of the series DAV are especially designed for the economical machining of work pieces made of carbon.

Based on the specific cutting properties of carbon the machine concept and feed and speed rates have been selected.

Special attention was paid to the high amount of carbon dust which is generated during the machining process. All guiding elements, electrical equipment and motors are protected by especially designed protection units.

The machine can be used for outside machining as well as for internal machining operations. A continuous path milling operation is also possible.
