What the maker published about the DMG MORI RL-253

Two spindles side by side, each paired with its own turret, define the RL-253, which Mori Seiki classed as a multi axis lathe with parallel twin spindles. Its figures repeat for headstock and turret No.1 and No.2 alike. On either side a part may reach 340 mm in diameter, 250 mm counts as standard, and each spindle's limit is 3,500 min-1. Twelve tools load on each turret, while a turret with ten stations is the bracketed alternative; indexing takes 0.6 sec. The X slide strokes 190 mm, made up of 170 mm and 20 mm, and Z strokes 265 mm, both rapiding at 24 m/min. The body alone covers 2,440 x 2,020 mm of floor and rises 2,450 mm, or 2,750 mm once the gantry loader is mounted.
