Overview

The DMG Mori Wasino A 150Y|18 is an ultra-high-precision CNC turning center with Y-axis capability and an 18 kW spindle motor class. Built on Wasino's proven platform of sub-micron accuracy, this machine handles workpieces up to 240 mm (9.4 in) diameter and 245 mm (9.6 in) length with bar capacity of 67 mm (2.6 in).

The Y-axis provides 100 mm (3.9 in) of off-center travel for milling, drilling, and tapping operations. Unlike the SY variant, the A 150Y|18 does not include a sub-spindle, trading done-in-one capability for a more powerful 18 kW spindle motor. This makes it the better choice for shops that handle backworking on a separate operation or produce parts that do not require rear-end features.

X-axis travel is 180 mm (7.1 in) and Z-axis travel is 350 mm (13.8 in). The machine accommodates 18 tool stations, the largest capacity in its class according to DMG Mori. Wasino's horizontal scraped cast iron slideways provide superior damping and geometric accuracy, with thermal displacement at cold start of just 0.1 micrometers on diameter and circularity of 0.02 micrometers.

The 18 kW spindle delivers more cutting power than the 15 kW SY variant, making it suitable for more aggressive roughing in steel, stainless, and cast iron. The Fanuc control provides a familiar programming environment, and the Easy Tool Monitor 2.0 software protects tooling during unattended runs.

The Wasino A 150Y|18 targets production shops that prioritize machining accuracy and spindle power over done-in-one capability. Precision automotive, hydraulic, and medical component manufacturers who can handle backworking separately will benefit from the extra spindle power without paying for a sub-spindle they do not need.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

18 kW spindle motor class provides more cutting power than the SY variant for aggressive roughing in steel and stainless
Sub-micron thermal displacement control (0.1 µm diameter) delivers accuracy that most production lathes cannot match
Y-axis with 100 mm travel enables off-center milling, drilling, and tapping without secondary machining center setup
18 tool stations provide the largest tool capacity in its class for complex multi-feature parts
Lower cost than the SY variant for shops that do not need sub-spindle backworking capability
Scraped cast iron slideways deliver superior damping and geometric accuracy compared to linear guide machines

Limitations

No sub-spindle means parts requiring backworking need a second operation on another machine
Scraped cast iron slideways limit rapid traverse speeds compared to linear guide machines
Wasino brand recognition is lower than mainline DMG Mori products in the North American market
Detailed spindle speed specifications require contacting DMG Mori directly for complete comparison data

Best For

Precision automotive component production where sub-micron accuracy and strong spindle power are both required Hydraulic valve body manufacturers needing accurate Y-axis milling with powerful turning capability Medical device producers machining components that do not require backworking in the same setup Production shops that handle backworking on separate machines and want maximum spindle power for primary operations Any application where ultra-high precision turning with Y-axis milling capability justifies the Wasino premium

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the A 150Y|18 and A 150SY|15?

The A 150Y|18 has a more powerful 18 kW spindle but no sub-spindle. The A 150SY|15 has a sub-spindle for done-in-one parts but a smaller 15 kW spindle. Choose the Y|18 when you need more spindle power and handle backworking separately. Choose the SY|15 when complete parts in one setup is the priority.

02 Can the A 150Y|18 run unattended with a bar feeder?

Yes. The 67 mm bar capacity accommodates standard bar feeders, and the Easy Tool Monitor 2.0 protects against tool breakage during unattended runs. The thermal displacement control maintains accuracy across extended production cycles.

03 What makes Wasino lathes different from standard DMG Mori lathes?

Wasino specializes in ultra-high-precision production turning with scraped cast iron slideways and sub-micron thermal displacement control. Standard DMG Mori lathes like the NLX and CLX series use linear guides and target general-purpose turning. Wasino is the precision specialist within the DMG Mori portfolio.

04 Is the 18 kW spindle enough for heavy roughing?

The 18 kW spindle handles moderate to heavy roughing in steel, stainless, and cast iron within the 240 mm swing envelope. For extremely heavy roughing on large-diameter workpieces, step up to a larger-frame lathe. The Wasino A platform is optimized for precision production, not maximum material removal.
