Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Dainichi DL530 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Dainichi DL530 is a 2-axis (X, Z) CNC lathe with 530 mm (20.9 in) of swing over the bed and a choice of 1,000 / 1,500 mm (39.4 / 59.1 in) between centres. Its spindle runs 17-1,700 min-1, against 1,120 min-1 on the DL65/75 and 900 min-1 on the DL95, which makes it the model in this family to look at when the parts are small enough for speed to matter.

Workholding follows the same logic. The standard chuck is a 3-jaw scroll of 250 mm (9.8 in), a self-centring type that grips round stock without setting each jaw separately. Long parts are limited by the 300 mm (11.8 in) swing over the carriage, not by the bed swing, and the tailstock supports them with an MT No. 5 centre in a 90 mm (3.5 in) quill. Up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) can be carried between centres.

Spindle power is listed as 9 / 7.5 kW (12.1 / 10.1 hp). The spindle bore is 77 mm (3.0 in) and the table gives no optional bore, whereas the DL65/75 starts at 85 mm (3.3 in) and offers 125 mm (4.9 in) as an option. Bar or tube that has to pass through the headstock therefore needs to fit inside 77 mm (3.0 in).

Two machine weights are listed, 2,800 / 3,100 kg (6,173 / 6,834 lb), next to the two between-centres lengths. Either way it is a much lighter installation than the DL65/75 at 3,500-8,400 kg (7,716-18,519 lb). The control is a FANUC 32i-B with an 8.4 in colour LCD.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

17-1,700 min-1 spindle; the DL65/75, the next size up, reaches 1,120 min-1
3-jaw scroll chuck of 250 mm (9.8 in) as standard, quick to load with round stock
77 mm (3.0 in) spindle bore for bar and tube fed through the headstock
Light to install at 2,800 / 3,100 kg (6,173 / 6,834 lb)
Tailstock with an MT No. 5 centre and a 90 mm (3.5 in) quill, and 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) capacity between centres

Limitations

Between-centres length stops at 1,500 mm (59.1 in), so longer shafts need a larger DL model
Swing over the carriage is 300 mm (11.8 in), which caps the diameter of long work
9 / 7.5 kW (12.1 / 10.1 hp) is the only power listed; no optional motor appears in the table
No spindle bore option is listed beyond 77 mm (3.0 in)

Best For

Shafts up to 1,500 mm (59.1 in) between centres Small-diameter turning that benefits from 1,700 min-1 Round bar held in the 250 mm (9.8 in) 3-jaw scroll chuck Parts up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) between centres

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long a part fits between centres on the DL530?

The DL530 is listed with 1,000 / 1,500 mm (39.4 / 59.1 in) between centres, so there are two bed lengths to choose from. Swing over the bed is 530 mm (20.9 in) and swing over the carriage is 300 mm (11.8 in). Maximum load between centres is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).

02 Is the DL530 faster than the larger DL lathes?

Yes. Its range is 17-1,700 min-1. The DL65/75 tops out at 1,120 min-1, the DL95 at 900 min-1 and the DL120 at 630 min-1. Power falls the other way: the DL530 lists 9 / 7.5 kW (12.1 / 10.1 hp) and the DL95 lists 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp).

03 What chuck and tailstock does the DL530 have?

The standard chuck is a 3-jaw scroll of 250 mm (9.8 in). The tailstock takes an MT No. 5 centre and has a quill of 90 mm (3.5 in) diameter. The table does not give a quill travel for this model, so ask for it if deep centre-drilled parts or long live centres are part of the work.

04 What bar size passes through the DL530 spindle?

The spindle bore is 77 mm (3.0 in), so stock has to be smaller than that to pass through the headstock. Dainichi's table shows no larger bore option for the DL530. If a bigger bore is needed, the DL65/75 lists 85 mm (3.3 in) as standard with 125 mm (4.9 in) optional.

05 What does the DL530 weigh?

Two figures are given: 2,800 / 3,100 kg (6,173 / 6,834 lb). The table also gives two between-centres lengths, 1,000 / 1,500 mm (39.4 / 59.1 in), so confirm which weight belongs to the bed being ordered before planning the lift and the floor.
