WFL M150 vs WFL M35
WFL vs WFL · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The WFL M150 and the WFL M35 are both WFL mill-turn machines, but they serve different jobs. The M150 is a heavy machine swinging Ø1,480 mm (58.3 in) over lengths up to 12,000 mm (472.4 in); the M35 swings Ø520 mm (20.5 in) over 2,000 mm (78.7 in).
The M150 has the force: 103/113 kW (138.1/151.5 hp) and 10,160/14,000 N·m against 33/54 kW (44.2/72.4 hp) and 630/1,600 N·m, plus 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y travel against 250 mm (9.8 in). The M35 has the speed: 3,300/4,000 rpm at the main spindle against 1,000/1,600 rpm, and live tools to 9,000/12,000 rpm against 3,200/5,000/8,000 rpm. Magazines run 40/80/120 on the M35 and 36/72/108 on the M150.

Advantages
WFL M150
- Ø1,480 mm (58.3 in) turning diameter against Ø520 mm (20.5 in)
- Up to 12,000 mm (472.4 in) turning length against 2,000 mm (78.7 in)
- 10,160/14,000 N·m torque and 103/113 kW against 630/1,600 N·m and 33/54 kW
- 800 mm (31.5 in) Y travel against 250 mm (9.8 in)
WFL M35
- Main spindle to 3,300/4,000 rpm against 1,000/1,600 rpm
- Live tools to 9,000/12,000 rpm against 3,200/5,000/8,000 rpm
- Magazine options of 40/80/120 tools against 36/72/108
Verdict
These machines do not compete. Choose the WFL M150 for parts over a meter in diameter or many meters long, such as turbine rotors, large valve bodies, crankshafts and landing gear, where 14,000 N·m and a Ø1,480 mm swing are required. Choose the WFL M35 for medical, aerospace and hydraulic parts within Ø520 mm and 2,000 mm, where 12,000 rpm live tools and a 4,000 rpm spindle suit smaller diameters.
