Overview

The DMG Mori Wasino jj 1 is a compact dual-spindle, dual-turret CNC turning center engineered for high-volume simultaneous machining of small precision parts. The jj series name indicates the dual-spindle configuration, and the jj 1 is purpose-built for applications where both the front and rear faces of a part need to be machined in a single cycle, eliminating the need for secondary operations and manual part flipping.

Maximum workpiece diameter is 100 mm (3.9 in) with a maximum workpiece length of 100 mm (3.9 in). Maximum bar capacity is 45 mm (1.8 in), accommodating a slightly larger bar size than the single-spindle j 1 for applications requiring thicker stock. X-axis travel is 147.5 mm (5.8 in) and Z-axis travel is 170 mm (6.7 in). The dual-spindle, dual-turret architecture allows simultaneous cutting on both spindles, effectively doubling throughput compared to sequential front/back operations on a single-spindle machine.

The jj 1 shares the Wasino platform's commitment to thermal precision, delivering consistent dimensional accuracy during extended production runs. The machine is described as a space-saving design that packs dual-spindle capability into a footprint that approaches single-spindle machine dimensions. The FANUC control system handles the synchronization of both spindles and turrets, with programming simplified through Wasino's dedicated dual-spindle cycles.

The jj 1 is designed for automation integration, supporting bar feeders and parts collection systems for unattended production. The machine excels in automotive, medical, and electronics production where small parts with features on both ends need to be produced in high volumes with minimal cycle time. It competes with the Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY, Muratec MD120G, and Nakamura-Tome SC-100 in the compact dual-spindle production lathe segment. DMG Mori's global service network provides a support advantage.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Dual-spindle, dual-turret configuration enables simultaneous front and back machining for effectively doubled throughput on qualifying parts
45 mm bar capacity accepts larger bar stock than the j 1 for a wider range of small-part applications
Complete front-and-back machining in a single cycle eliminates secondary operations and part handling between machines
Space-saving design packs dual-spindle capability into a footprint approaching single-spindle machine dimensions
DMG Mori global service network provides reliable support, parts availability, and field service response worldwide
FANUC control with dedicated dual-spindle cycles simplifies programming of synchronized multi-spindle operations

Limitations

100 mm maximum workpiece diameter and 100 mm length severely limit the range of parts the machine can handle
Dual-spindle programming is inherently more complex than single-spindle, requiring careful synchronization and collision avoidance planning
Higher acquisition cost than single-spindle machines is only justified at production volumes where the throughput gain delivers ROI
No Y-axis capability limits off-center milling and drilling operations that some competitor dual-spindle machines offer

Best For

High-volume automotive production of small shafts, pins, and fittings requiring machined features on both front and rear faces Medical device manufacturers producing bone screws, dental implant abutments, and small instrument components with both-end features Electronics connector and contact body production where both-end machining in a single cycle maximizes throughput per square foot Hydraulic and pneumatic fitting manufacturers machining small valve bodies and connectors with ports on both ends Any high-volume small-part production where eliminating a secondary turning operation on the back of the part reduces total cost per piece

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DMG Mori Wasino jj 1 cost?

New Wasino jj 1 pricing typically ranges from $200,000 to $320,000 depending on turret configuration and automation accessories. The dual-spindle premium over the single-spindle j 1 is substantial, but the throughput gain pays for itself quickly at volumes above a few thousand parts per month.

02 How does the jj 1 compare to the j 1?

The jj 1 adds a second spindle and second turret for simultaneous front/back machining, but with a smaller workpiece envelope (100 mm diameter vs 170 mm on the j 1). The j 1 handles a wider range of part sizes; the jj 1 maximizes throughput on small parts that need both-end machining. If your parts fit within the 100 mm envelope and need work on both ends, the jj 1 eliminates an entire secondary operation.

03 How does the jj 1 compare to the AA-1?

Both are dual-spindle, dual-turret Wasino machines with similar specifications. The AA-1 has a slightly different turret configuration with Y-axis capability and 50 mm maximum workpiece length. The jj 1 offers 100 mm workpiece length and 45 mm bar capacity. Both target the same small-part high-volume market. Choose based on specific part geometry and required features.

04 Can the jj 1 machine parts with only front-side features?

Yes. The jj 1 can run single-spindle programs when parts do not require back-side machining. However, this underutilizes the machine's dual-spindle capability. For parts requiring only front-side turning, the single-spindle j 1 is a more cost-effective choice. The jj 1 delivers its best ROI when both spindles are cutting simultaneously.
