Mori Seiki’s DuraTurn CNC lathes feature rigid bodies to reduce vibration and increase accuracy. To further stabilize turning ability, the lathes are equipped with roller guides. With four models offered in various sizes, the machines have a maximum turning length ranging from 13.2 to 20.9 and are a
Mori Seiki says its NT Series of integrated mill-turn centers combines the turning ability of a lathe and the cutting ability of a machining center. The machines employ both driven-at-the-center-of-gravity (DCG) technology and the box-in-box construction of the NH Series HMCs along with the turret a
Absolute Machine Tools offers the Johnford ST-40BH, a heavy-duty CNC turning center for the oil-field, energy, construction and other industries that need large lathes for big parts. The 60-degree slant-bed machine is available in bed lengths ranging to 240 and spindle holes as large as 21. Accor
Featuring deep-drilling, boring and honing capability, the QTN 450-II multitasking turning center is equipped with a 7.2 bore and a programmable tailstock. Available from Mazak, the machine offers 1,761 foot-pounds of torque from its optional 50-hp integral spindle motor and 7.2 through-hole capa
Designed for reliability and ease of use, Toyodas Inverted vertical turning center features a traveling inverted spindle that allows direct part pickup to aid in chip management. According to the company, the machine is flexible enough to be used as a stand-alone machine or as part of a production
Designed for producing complex components without secondary operations, the MultiAlpha 6x32 has a three-axis independent counterspindle with five backworking tool positions. With a 1.260 (1.340) diameter bar capacity, the machine spreads the work over six integrated independent motorspindles with sy
Romi Machine Tools’ M33 combination lathe is suitable for mixed-volume, short-run operations as well as dedicated high-volume applications. With a swing of 33.46 and a distance between centers of 80, the lathe combines high-performance turning capacity with a 203 × 96 footprint, the company says. Th
The GMC 20 linear, GMC 35 linear and GMC 55 linear CNC multi-spindle auotomatic lathes are useful for machining parts with diameters ranging from 3 to 55 mm. According to manufacturer DMG America, the machines’ CNC controls and MF Programmer 3D programming systems make them useful for not only mass-
Miyano says its BX-26S dual-spindle gang-tool lathe offers complete part machining of complex bar work in diameters of 1 and smaller in one setup. For precision and fast cycle times, the machine features two gang slides and a 3D linear turret. It is useful for machining complex medical components su
The GT-10 lathe from Haas is designed for medium-sized shops that need a versatile machine for short-run, secondary applications. According to the company, the lathe’s footprint of 5 × 5.3 and maximum capacity of 10 × 8 makes it useful as a “chucker” for shops with limited space. The machine has a m
An alternative to manually tending turning centers, the DS1200-MTL uses robotic technology to load and unload parts. Manufacturer Distech Systems says the ability to perform secondary operations such as parts washing, packout and stacking allows the system to operate as a versatile work cell. It acc
New from Chevalier Machinery, Inc., the FBL-1233 can excel at mixed-volume, short-run or dedicated high-volume applications. The slant bed lathe machines bars with diameters as large as 3.5 at speeds as fast as 2,500 rpm. It also offers X and Z travels of 12.6 and 32.3 and rapid traverse of 708 ipm
Useful for turning large parts, the You Ji VTL-1600ATC-II available from Absolute Machine Tools, Inc. features ribbed Meehanite castings that can minimize thermal distortion while dampening vibration. Both X and Z axes are supported by oversized, hardened and ground box ways that foster stability an
The CTX 10 Series lathes from DMG are now available with optional counter spindle, 12 driven tools and Y-axis for complete machining capability. These lathes come standard with 45-degree slanted bed designed in a 4-track design with linear roller guideways for best operating conditions for both th
The Romi CNC 30 G features hydraulic collet chuck and automatic parts unloading, as well as “U” shaped cross slide gang tooling with T slots for toolholder positioning. Interactive programming screens make the machine equally adept at mixed-volume, short-run production, as well as dedicated high-vol
Colchester Lathes’ Combi 6000 has an 800-mm swing over the bed and a 170-mm bore and bed length options of 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 mm between centers. The Fanuc 2 10i-TA features single-screen program creation software and six methods of programming. The control carries out single-cycle turning o
The T S Harrison range of manual/CNC lathes has entered a new era with the launch of the Alpha X series, says The 600 Group. The series is comprised of the Alpha XT, XS and 1550XM, the latter of which includes a full C axis and milling capabilities. All of the lathes incorporate a number of tech
The Cincom L20 series is more advanced than the previous L-series models, thus enabling faster operations and reduced non-cutting idle time by 40 percent, says Marubeni Citizen-Cincom (MCC). In an ID/OD tooling operation or thread cutting operation, moving another axis can begin without pri
