The Heyligenstaedt DW 1800 is a heavy-duty lathe — sometimes referred to as a centre lathe or turning machine — used for precision rotational machining of large metal workpieces. Heyligenstaedt is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing high-precision heavy lathes and grinding machines, serving industries such as energy, shipbuilding, and heavy engineering where large-diameter, long-run turning operations are required.
This machine was built in Germany in 1972 and subsequently refurbished and modernised in 1996, extending its working life and bringing its control and mechanical systems up to a later standard. It is currently located in the Netherlands and is available immediately.
The lathe is specified for a turning diameter range of Ø600 mm to Ø2,800 mm and a maximum turning length of 3,950 mm, making it well suited to large, heavy components such as rolls, shafts, flanges, and similar industrial parts. The centre height stands at 1,600 mm, consistent with its capacity for substantial workpieces. Motor power is rated at 63 kW, providing the torque necessary for demanding cuts in hard or tough materials at this scale.
Spindle speed ranges from 0.45 to 90 mm/min, offering a broad spread of feed rates to accommodate both roughing and finishing passes. Axis traverse rates are 0 to 200 mm/min on the X-axis and 0 to 400 mm/min on the Z-axis, while rapid traverse is rated at 1,200 mm/min on the X-axis and 2,400 mm/min on the Z-axis, supporting efficient positioning between cuts on long workpieces.
