The company introduces the user-centric redesign of its TM series of slant-bed lathes. New features include faster spindle acceleration and deceleration rates; improved chip management; an air gun; a coolant gun; and ergonomic design features such as a front-access chip conveyor, the company says. T

Engineered for exclusive use with the Prodigy GT-27, the full six-axis Fanuc robot achieves 5-second door-open to door-close times (part dependent), the company says. The lathe’s GE Fanuc 0i-Mate TC control is said to contribute to ease of operation, as well as faster and more responsive performance

Available in single and twin-spindle models, the MD series of turning centers is designed for compact line operation, manufacturing flexibility, versatility and easy setup change. The MD120 is constructed with separate beds for each of the machine’s twin spindles, which virtually eliminates transfer

The Kitako HS4200i CNC lathe features a high speed, automated gantry loader with X-axis loading feed rates of 6,700 ipm. Combined with the machine’s four spindles, this feature enables smooth, unattended operation with no idle time for part loading/unloading, the company says. Additionally, the mach

Designed for complex, difficult-to-manufacture parts, the ECAS-20T is a twelve-axis Swiss-type lathe featuring three turrets that can work simultaneously and independently in the cut. Independent front/back machining capability, along with a variety of tools, enables full part machining in a single

Ikegai Corporation’s TU30 CNC lathe with slant-bed features a rigid, four-way bed and a 6 (150-mm) diameter main spindle. The stepless spindle speed changes in low-speed range and high-speed range (between 6 and 2,500 rpm). The 45-degree slant-bed facilitates efficient chip disposal, and doors open

Fujis twin spindle, twin tailstock ANW-3500S is ideal for shaft turning applications,  the company says. The dual spindles of the machine operate at 20 and 25 hp. An A2-6 spindle nose comes standard; an A2-8 spindle nose is available as an option. The machine features an MT.4 tailstock, a quill stro

Once upon a time, lathes machined round parts. They still do this. However, machine tool makers recognized that turned parts often require at least some milling or drilling work as well. With the part already held in the lathe, and with a CNC lathe already capable of the motions that could feed rot

According to the company, all TUR-MN/CNC 22-25-28-32-37-43 swing lathes feature a TRI-V bedway design to maximize accuracy, rigidity and repeatability for difficult turning and boring applications, while at the same time extending the lathes life and minimizing costly maintenance that results from i

The GS series of multitasking turning centers now includes the GS 200 MSY and GS 250 MSY Performance. The multi-axis machines feature dual-wound spindle motors with 30 hp (22 kW) on the main spindle and 20 hp (15 kW) on the subspindle. Other standard features include 10-hp (7.5-kW) live tooling with

According to the company, the Super NTY3 multitasking turning center offers stock-on turning and machining that virtually eliminates productivity lost as a result of tool changes. Three turrets, each with a Y axis, allow complete turning/machining/finishing in one pass to reduce cycle times. The mac

The company offers three new models of its ABX Super Turning Centers: the ABX-51TH3, the ABX-51THY and the ABX-51THB. Equipped with two spindles and three turrets, the machines are designed for efficient processing of complex parts in a single setup.   The ABX-51TH3 has two upper turrets on the left

The good news for shops serving oil and energy companies is that they are busy. The downside to this is they often don’t have time to research and integrate new machining strategies because they are running at full capacity, suggests Gayle Vollmer, Okuma’s director of technical resources. Take the

Available from Clausing Industrial, the Clausing/Colchester T-series CNC two-axis lathes include the Storm T2, T4 and T8. The precision-turning machines are available in chucking, bar-feed and “lights-out” models. The machines are driven by GE Fanuc 21i TB controls, and their GE Fanuc spindle drives

Available from Mazak, the Hyper Quadrex 150 MSY is designed for producing turned and machined workpieces from barstock as large as 2.56 (65 mm) in diameter. The machine features two horizontally opposed spindles for turning and C-axis control as well as two full-function tool turrets with X-, Y- and

Engineered to meet production needs in the oil industry, the Oil Country Lathe combines a large bed length and extensive chuck options with high stability and accuracy, according to manufacturer Okuma. The machine is available in both two- and four-axis configurations. A standard 7.87 spindle bore a

A clear attraction to the turn-mill platform is the possibility to completely machine workpieces in a single setup. Advancements in CAM software now allow turn-mill machines equipped with a B-axis milling head to perform finish turning of inner and outer workpiece profiles using a single cutting too
