DMG Mori Wasino AA-1

The DMG MORI Wasino AA-1 is a 2-spindle, 2-turret lathe for small chucked parts, with a maximum workpiece of 100 mm (3.9 in) in diameter and 50 mm (2 in) in length. Travels are 147.5 mm (5.8 in) in X, 50 mm (2 in) in Y and 170 mm (6.7 in) in Z.

The part envelope is a disc, not a shaft: the length limit is half the diameter limit. That is the shape of gear blanks, bearing rings, small flanges and similar short parts, and DMG MORI's own description mentions experience ranging from round to irregular workpieces. No bar capacity is listed, so parts arrive as individual blanks.

Both spindles and both turrets, which DMG MORI also calls slides, turn simultaneously. Two cuts run in the time of one, and DMG MORI presents the layout as a way of integrating operations on a small footprint, though no floor space figure is published.

On accuracy, thermal displacement is given as 5.0 μm in a cold start. A pre-tensioned ball screw reduces the expansion caused by temperature rise, and stainless steel covers are listed for stable machining accuracy. For a machine that will run short-cycle parts in volume, the cold-start figure indicates how much the first parts of a shift drift before the machine settles.

A loader stocker system and other peripheral equipment are available. If the parts are larger, the Wasino A-18S has 180 mm (7.1 in) of X, 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z.
