How much does the Dainichi TL132/152 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Dainichi TL132/152 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 TL132/152 has the same working envelope as the DL132/152 and a stronger spindle and higher load rating to go with it. Swing over the bed is 1,320 / 1,520 mm (52.0 / 59.8 in) for the TL132 and TL152, swing over the carriage is 900 / 1,100 mm (35.4 / 43.3 in), and distance between centres is 1,500 to 15,000 mm (59.1-590.6 in). What changes first is the weight the centres will carry: 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).
The headstock is where the two models part. Spindle power is listed as 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp), where the DL132/152 lists 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp). The spindle runs in 3-point support bearings with forced-circulation lubrication, and its bore is 104 mm (4.1 in) against the 85 mm (3.3 in) standard bore of the DL132/152. The speed range is 1-500 min-1. Being able to creep at 1 min-1 has real use at this size, for instance while a heavy, unbalanced forging is being set up and clocked.
Under the carriage the figures are familiar: a bed 1,010 mm (39.8 in) wide with slideways hardened over the full length to Hs 67-74, a 4-jaw chuck of 1,000 mm (39.4 in) as standard, and a Curvic-coupling tool post that measures 264 mm (10.4 in) across flats.
Machine weight is 15,000-42,000 kg (33,069-92,594 lb), compared with 11,000-38,000 kg (24,251-83,776 lb) for the DL132/152, so crane capacity and foundation need checking early. The TL132/152 is a 2-axis (X, Z) machine controlled by a FANUC 32i-B Plus with a 10.4 in colour LCD.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) between centres on beds from 1,500 to 15,000 mm (59.1-590.6 in)
- 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp) spindle power, where the DL132/152 lists 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp)
- Spindle carried in 3-point support bearings with forced-circulation lubrication
- 104 mm (4.1 in) spindle bore as the listed figure, larger than the 85 mm (3.3 in) standard bore of the DL132/152
- Speed range reaches down to 1 min-1 for setting up and clocking heavy work
- 1,010 mm (39.8 in) wide bed, slideways hardened full length to Hs 67-74
Limitations
- Maximum spindle speed is 500 min-1, so the machine is unsuited to small diameters
- The table gives one spindle bore, 104 mm (4.1 in), and no larger options; the DL120 lists optional bores up to 425 mm (16.7 in)
- At 15,000-42,000 kg (33,069-92,594 lb) it is heavier than the DL132/152 at 11,000-38,000 kg (24,251-83,776 lb) and needs a foundation and crane to match
- 2 controlled axes (X, Z) are listed, with no C axis or driven tools

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Load, power and bore. The TL132/152 carries 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) between centres, lists 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp) and has a 104 mm (4.1 in) spindle bore. The DL132/152 lists 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp), an 85 mm (3.3 in) standard bore and a machine weight of 11,000-38,000 kg (24,251-83,776 lb), against 15,000-42,000 kg (33,069-92,594 lb) for the TL132/152. Both top out at 500 min-1.
02
Only in swing. The TL132 has 1,320 mm (52.0 in) over the bed and 900 mm (35.4 in) over the carriage. The TL152 has 1,520 mm (59.8 in) and 1,100 mm (43.3 in). Load, speed, power, bore, bed width and the 1,500 to 15,000 mm (59.1-590.6 in) between-centres range are listed once for both.
03
It turns at 1-500 min-1 with power listed as 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp). The bearings are a 3-point support arrangement with forced-circulation lubrication, and the bore is 104 mm (4.1 in). Three bearing points along the spindle spread the load of a heavy chuck and workpiece, which fits a machine rated for 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) between centres.
04
A 4-jaw chuck of 1,000 mm (39.4 in) and a Curvic-coupling tool post measuring 264 mm (10.4 in) across flats. The table lists no other tool post or chuck sizes and no tailstock dimensions, so centre size and quill details should be requested with the quotation.
05
Weight above all. The machine is listed at 15,000-42,000 kg (33,069-92,594 lb) and can hold a further 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) between centres, on beds up to 15,000 mm (590.6 in) between centres. Get the weight and footprint for the exact bed length before the foundation and lifting plan are fixed.
