Machine Description
The WABECO D6000 KRS combines robust cast iron construction with precision ball screw technology to provide superior positioning accuracy, smooth axis movement and minimal backlash.
The machine is designed for users who require exceptional machining precision, whether for toolmaking, prototype development, education, maintenance work or small-scale production.
Prismatic Cast Iron Bed
The D6000 KRS features a heavy-duty prismatic bed manufactured from diagonally ribbed grey cast iron. The guideways are inductively hardened and precision ground to ensure long-lasting accuracy, rigidity and wear resistance.
- Diagonally ribbed grey cast iron construction
- Inductively hardened guideways
- Precision-ground sliding surfaces
- Excellent vibration damping and rigidity
- 180 mm bed width for increased stability
Precision Ball Screw System
The D6000 KRS is equipped with precision ball screws on all axes, providing significantly improved positioning accuracy and smoother movement compared with conventional feed screws.
- Ball screws on all axes
- Backlash-free operation
- Exceptional positioning accuracy
- Wear-resistant design
- Long service life
- Lead screw cover included
Lead Screw & Thread Cutting System
The machine incorporates a precision lead screw drive system with automatic feed functions and thread-cutting capability.
- 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 to ensure maximum spindle stability and machining accuracy.
A quiet belt-driven transmission system provides smooth power delivery and exceptionally low operating noise.
