WMW DXWD 1800 Heavy-Duty CNC Horizontal Lathe

Machine Overhauled in 2025

This VEB WZM Meuselwitz (WMW) DXWD 1800 / 2 is a heavy-duty lathe designed for large-scale machining tasks. Manufactured and overhauled in 2025, it features a robust construction with overall dimensions of 25,500 mm in length, 5,150 mm in width, and 3,230 mm in height, and a substantial machine weight of 160,000 kg. The lathe is capable of handling a maximum workpiece weight of up to 80,000 kg, making it suitable for very heavy and large components.

The machine offers a maximum turning diameter of 1,900 mm and a faceplate diameter of 2,600 mm, allowing it to accommodate sizable workpieces. The distance between centers is approximately 12,025 mm, with a turning length close to 11,925 mm, and a spindle center height of 1,300 mm. Its spindle motor delivers 160 kW of power, supporting a spindle torque up to 155 kNm and a rotation speed range from 1 to 150 rpm across three speed ranges.
