Machine Description

The WABECO D4000 H30 combines robust cast iron construction with precision engineering to provide outstanding turning performance and long-term accuracy. Designed for professional workshops, educational environments and model engineering applications, the machine offers smooth operation and exceptional machining precision.

The rigid cast iron bed and hardened guideways ensure excellent stability, vibration damping and consistent results across a wide range of turning operations.

Prismatic Cast Iron Bed

The D4000 H30 features a heavy-duty prismatic bed manufactured from diagonally ribbed grey cast iron. The guideways are inductively hardened and precision ground to ensure maximum rigidity, wear resistance and machining accuracy.

  • Diagonally ribbed grey cast iron construction
  • Inductively hardened guideways
  • Precision-ground sliding surfaces
  • Excellent vibration damping and stability

Lead Screw & Feed System

The machine is equipped with trapezoidal thread spindles and a precision lead screw drive system for accurate feed control and thread cutting operations.

  • Automatic longitudinal feed: 0.085 mm/rev
  • Secondary automatic feed: 0.16 mm/rev
  • Tumbler gear for left and right-hand threads
  • Integrated overload clutch protection
  • Thread cutting preparation as standard

Optional change gears enable the production of metric threads from 0.25 mm to 7.0 mm pitch and imperial threads from 10 to 40 TPI.

Headstock & Drive System

The cast iron headstock incorporates a hand-scraped V-guide system and two adjustable precision DIN tapered roller bearings for excellent spindle stability and turning accuracy.

The innovative belt drive system provides smooth power transmission and exceptionally quiet operation.
