This Dörries Scharmann 200 140 is a used vertical lathe — sometimes referred to as a vertical turning lathe or carousel lathe — manufactured in 1987 and currently located in Germany. Vertical lathes of this type are designed for the precision turning of large, heavy, and symmetrical workpieces that would be impractical to mount on a horizontal machine, and are widely used in industries such as energy generation, heavy engineering, and the manufacture of large flanges, rings, and housings. Dörries Scharmann was a well-regarded German machine tool builder with a long history of producing heavy-duty vertical lathes and machining centres for demanding industrial applications.
This machine was comprehensively overhauled and modernised by the manufacturer in 2008, at which point it was retrofitted with a Siemens 840D CNC control system. The addition of a C-axis with driven tools extends the machine's capability beyond pure turning, allowing milling, drilling, and other rotary operations to be performed in a single setup. Tooling is handled by an automatic tool changer with a capacity of 72 positions, and all toolholders — both straight and angled — use a CAPTO interface. Coolant equipment and a swarf conveyor are included.
The faceplate diameter is 1,400 mm and the swing diameter over the table is 2,000 mm, giving a clear indication of the maximum workpiece size that can be accommodated in rotation. Turning height reaches 1,500 mm, while the ram stroke extends to a maximum of 1,250 mm with a ram cross-section of 240 × 240 mm. Faceplate speeds are continuously variable between 1 and 365 rpm. The main spindle motor is rated at 80 kW and the milling motor at 37 kW, with a total connected power demand of 133 kW.
The machine weighs approximately 50 tonnes and requires a floor space of roughly 11 × 5 metres with a height clearance of 6.4 metres. It is described as available for immediate delivery from its current location in Germany.
