Facing Lathes
A comprehensive catalogue for these lathes is available
A natural addition to their extensive range of very large conventional, roll and wheel lathes, Deutschland Dortmund also offered a number of models designed for facing work, the plandrehbänke. By the early 1950s the range consisted of standard production and special models: DBR-1565, DP-160, DP-200L, DP-210, DP-250L and DP-280 with the number after the model designation indicating the faceplate diameter in cm.
Motors varied in power from 25 to 40 h.p. and, as the lathes were large and hence peripheral speeds high, spindles turned very slowly, just 2 to 200 r.p.m. on the DBR-155, 1 to 45 r.p.m. on the DP-160 and DP-200L, 0.6 to 48 r.p.m. on the DP-210 and DP-250L and from 0.5 to 30 r.p.m. on the giant DOP-280. Workpiece weights ran from 2 tonnes on the DBR-255 up to 8 tonnes on the DP-2800.
