Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from WFL. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The WFL M35 is a Ø520 mm (20.5 in) by 2,000 mm (78.7 in) mill-turn centre offered with two very different turning drives. The lighter one is rated 33 kW (44.2 hp) and 630 Nm (464.7 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle. The heavier one is rated 54 kW (72.4 hp) and 1,600 Nm (1,180.1 ft-lb) on the same basis. Most of the decision about this machine comes down to which of the two the work needs.

At 100% duty cycle the figures are 29 kW and 550 Nm for the small drive, 37 kW and 1,100 Nm for the large one. Look at what happens to the large drive between the two ratings: 54 kW becomes 37 kW, and 1,600 Nm becomes 1,100 Nm. Long roughing passes on big diameters should be planned around the lower pair. Top speeds of 3,300 and 4,000 rpm are listed. The table does not say which speed belongs to which drive, though the high-torque option is normally the slower one.

The 630 Nm drive is also what the M30 carries, and the M30 has the same 600 mm (23.6 in) of X and 250 mm (9.8 in) of Y on the same turning diameter. What the M35 adds is the 1,600 Nm option and a 120-station magazine above the 40 and 80 stations both machines offer.

Milling is done by a B-axis spindle that swivels ±110°. It is rated 33 kW at 40% duty cycle and 27 kW at 100%, in 9,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm versions, with torque listed as 284 Nm and 213 Nm at 40% duty cycle (233 Nm and 175 Nm at 100%). The M35-G variant appears in the table with a shorter centre distance of 1,800 or 1,680 mm.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Optional turning drive with 54 kW (72.4 hp) and 1,600 Nm (1,180.1 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle on a Ø520 mm (20.5 in) machine
The larger drive still holds 37 kW and 1,100 Nm at 100% duty cycle for sustained roughing
Magazine sizes of 40, 80 or 120 stations
33 kW (44.2 hp) milling spindle in 9,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm versions
Shares the 600 mm (23.6 in) X and 250 mm (9.8 in) Y travels of the M30 while adding the 1,600 Nm turning option

Limitations

The 54 kW drive falls to 37 kW at 100% duty cycle, so its headline rating is not available for long continuous cuts
With the smaller drive, turning torque is 630 Nm at 40% duty cycle and 550 Nm at 100%
Top turning speed is 3,300 or 4,000 rpm, and the table does not state which figure goes with the 1,600 Nm drive
Nominal centre distance is 2,000 mm (78.7 in), with 1,800 or 1,680 mm on the M35-G; no longer bed is listed

Best For

Heavy turning up to Ø520 mm (20.5 in) on the 1,600 Nm drive Shaft work up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) between centres Jobs that need more than 80 tools, with a 120-station magazine Mixed turning and milling with a 33 kW (44.2 hp) B-axis spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which turning spindle options does the M35 have?

Two. The first is rated 33 kW (44.2 hp) and 630 Nm (464.7 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle, 29 kW and 550 Nm at 100%. The second is rated 54 kW (72.4 hp) and 1,600 Nm (1,180.1 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle, 37 kW and 1,100 Nm at 100%. Maximum speeds of 3,300 and 4,000 rpm are listed without being tied to a drive, so confirm the speed of the version being quoted.

02 What is the difference between the M35 and the M30?

The envelope is the same: both turn Ø520 mm (20.5 in) over 2,000 mm (78.7 in), with 600 mm (23.6 in) of X and 250 mm (9.8 in) of Y. The M30 is listed with a single 33 kW (44.2 hp), 630 Nm (464.7 ft-lb) turning spindle and 40 or 80 tools. The M35 adds the 54 kW, 1,600 Nm drive and a 120-station magazine.

03 How much torque is available for continuous roughing?

At 100% duty cycle the larger drive is rated 1,100 Nm and 37 kW, and the smaller drive 550 Nm and 29 kW. The 1,600 Nm and 630 Nm figures are 40% duty cycle ratings, so they suit interrupted work and short heavy cuts, not hours of continuous stock removal.

04 What milling capacity does the M35 have?

The milling spindle is rated 33 kW (44.2 hp) at 40% duty cycle and 27 kW at 100%. Two versions are listed, 9,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm, with torque of 284 Nm and 213 Nm (209.5 and 157.1 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle. The B-axis swivels ±110° and Y travel is 250 mm (9.8 in).
