The DT-1 is a compact, highspeed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities. The machine features a 20" x 16" x 15.5" work cube and 26" x 15" T-slot table, while maintaining a very small footprint.
A powerful BT-30 taper spindle spins to 15,000rpm, and allows tapping at speeds of up to 5,000rpm.
The spindle is coupled directly to the motor for smooth, quiet operation and extreme thermal stability.
A 20hp vector drive system provides 15ft/lb of continuous torque for milling and boring operations.
The DT-1 is equipped with a highspeed, 20-pocket, servo-driven tool changer that swaps tools in 0.8 seconds.
High-speed 2,400ipm rapids combine with 1G acceleration rates to shorten cycle times and reduce noncutting time. The maximum cutting feedrate is 1,200ipm.
For efficient chip removal, the DT-1 features steeply-sloped internal sheet metal and twin chip augers that exit at the rear of the machine. A 55-gallon flood coolant system is standard, with options for a programmable coolant nozzle and high-pressure throughtool coolant systems.
