Mills to focus on multi-axis mill-turn at MACH
By admin at 13 April, 2010, 12:13 pm
Mills CNC will showcase 13 Doosan machines, including six new models, at this year’s MACH exhibition.
The machine-tools to be featured on Mills’s stand include lathes and turning centres, vertical and horizontal machining centres (including five-axis milling machines), and multi-axis, multi-tasking mill-turn and turning centres.
Doosan (MX series) multi-axis mill-turn centres and multi-axis (TT series) turning centres are used by precision manufacturers in and across a number of industry sectors – aerospace, defence, medical, oil/gas and power generation.
Among the new models that Mills will exhibit are the MX 3100 Multi-Axis Mill-Turn Centre and the TT 1800 SY: Twin Turret – Twin Spindle Turning Centre.
The MX 3100, which will make its UK debut at MACH, is powerful and versatile and allows customers to perform simple turning and milling operations right through to the production of complex machined parts.
It has a bar capacity of 102mm and powerful 30kW, 3,000rev/min spindle.
Machining flexibility is enhanced via the machine’s 22kW, 118Nm, 12,000rev/min milling spindle, capable of machining the toughest exotic materials.
The spindle is mounted on a 240deg swing B-axis and includes a 230mm stroke Y-axis to provide ultimate flexibility.
The MX3100 includes a 40-tool magazine with Capto C6 tooling.
Additional features on the MX3100 at MACH include a servo-driven tailstock and servo-driven hydraulic steady rest.
The TT 1800 SY is an eight-axis machine with integrated Y-axis capability (+/- 50mm).
The TT machine being showcased has a 65mm bar working diameter; 22kW 5,000rpm spindles (left and right) and 40m/min rapid feeds.
The TT 1800 SY provides the optimum machining solution for high-volume manufacture of small-to-medium size complex parts.
