Overview

The DMG MORI Wasino A-18S is a production turning center with a Y axis: 180 mm (7.1 in) of X, 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z travel, for parts up to 240 mm (9.4 in) in diameter and 245 mm (9.6 in) long. Bar work runs up to 67 mm (2.6 in), and DMG MORI gives the tool count as 18 tools.

Its layout is the unusual part. The X, Z and Y axes are arranged orthogonally on a horizontal bed with a low center of gravity, so Y is an axis in its own right and stays square to X across its whole 100 mm stroke. Y travel is what lets a tool work off the spindle centreline, and DMG MORI describes the machine as proven on workpieces from round to irregular. The Highlights give no driven-tool speed or power, so ask for those figures if milling is a large part of the job.

On accuracy, DMG MORI states a thermal displacement at cold start of ø 4.0 μm and a circularity of 0.8 μm. Two design details stand behind the thermal figure: covers made of stainless steel, and a pre-tensioned ball screw whose nut is attached at the center of the elongation, which reduces the growth caused by temperature rise. A cold-start figure is the relevant one for a shop that runs short batches, because the first parts after start-up are the ones most at risk.

Within the Wasino A family, the Wasino A 150SY|15 and the Wasino A 150Y|18 have the same 180 mm, 100 mm and 350 mm travels, so the choice between the three is not a matter of envelope. The CTX 350 4A offers a longer Z of 495 mm (19.5 in) with 185 mm (7.3 in) of X and the same 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y. For automation, a loader stocker system is offered along with further peripheral devices.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

100 mm (3.9 in) of Y travel on a lathe with 180 mm (7.1 in) of X, with the X, Z and Y axes arranged orthogonally on a horizontal bed
18 tools, the tool count DMG MORI gives for the machine
Stated thermal displacement at cold start of ø 4.0 μm and circularity of 0.8 μm
Bar capacity of 67 mm (2.6 in) alongside chuck work up to 240 mm (9.4 in) in diameter
A loader stocker system is offered for automated part handling

Limitations

Workpiece length is limited to 245 mm (9.6 in) although Z travels 350 mm (13.8 in), so shaft work beyond that is out of range
The published data gives no spindle speed, power or torque, so cutting capacity has to be confirmed from a quotation
No driven-tool figures are stated, so the milling capability behind the 100 mm (3.9 in) Y axis needs to be confirmed
The loader stocker system and the peripheral devices are listed under expandability, so treat them as extras to be quoted

Best For

Chucked parts up to 240 mm (9.4 in) in diameter and 245 mm (9.6 in) long Bar-fed parts from stock up to 67 mm (2.6 in) Turned parts with off-centre features that need up to 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y Precision turning where a stated circularity of 0.8 μm matters Production cells built around the loader stocker system

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts fit the Wasino A-18S?

DMG MORI lists a maximum workpiece diameter of 240 mm (9.4 in) and a maximum workpiece length of 245 mm (9.6 in). Bar capacity is 67 mm (2.6 in). The axes travel 180 mm (7.1 in) in X, 100 mm (3.9 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z, so Z is longer than the longest part and leaves room for tool approach.

02 How many tools does the Wasino A-18S carry?

DMG MORI states 18 tools. The Highlights do not say how those positions divide between fixed and driven tools, and they give no shank size. If a job needs several driven tools at once, ask for the tool layout before ordering.

03 What accuracy does DMG MORI state for the Wasino A-18S?

A thermal displacement at cold start of ø 4.0 μm and a circularity of 0.8 μm. DMG MORI ties these to stainless steel covers and to a pre-tensioned ball screw with the nut attached at the center of the elongation. No positioning accuracy or repeatability figure is published.

04 How does the Wasino A-18S differ from the Wasino A 150Y|18 and the Wasino A 150SY|15?

Not by travel. The Wasino A 150Y|18 and the Wasino A 150SY|15 are both listed with 180 mm (7.1 in) of X, 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z, the same as the Wasino A-18S. The travel figures do not separate the three, so the difference has to be taken from the configuration DMG MORI quotes for each.

05 Can the Wasino A-18S be automated?

Yes. DMG MORI lists a loader stocker system for the machine, together with further applications and peripheral devices. Stock up to 67 mm (2.6 in) can also be run as bar. Which of these belongs to a given machine depends on the quotation, since they are listed as expansion possibilities.
