Mill-turn centre machines six faces
A mill-turn centre differs considerably from similar products from some lathe suppliers in that it is a piece of prismatic metalcutting equipment, which has been given extensive turning capabilities.
High performance machining centre cuts 'dry'
The latest new addition to the Stama range is the MC 326, a compact machine available in single- and twin-spindle formats and offers high performance machining in dry cutting conditions.
Maximum component size is 250mm diameter x 250mm height (300mm diameter is optional).
APC (automatic pallet changer) options are: twin pallet/10 pallet/40 pallet.
A dedicated single table version is also available.
The MAM72-25V (all versions) is capable of holding up to 240 tools in its ATC (Automatic Tool Changer).
The PC40 and PC10 machines can be assigned to hold a variety of different jobs in the fully integrated high speed APC.
The NC is the powerful Matsuura G-Tech (Fanuc) 30i as standard, with the option of a Matsuura G-Tech (Siemens Yaskawa) 840Di.
As ever with Matsuura Products, all spindles available across the range are designed and built by in house by a dedicated team in a clean room facility in Fukui, Japan, a facility which is mirrored at Matsuura's UK Operation in Leicestershire.
A BT40 15,000 rev/min Matsuura Hi-Tech Spindle comes as standard with the MAM72-25V, with 20,000 rev/min and 33,000 rev/min spindles available as options.
The MAM72-25V has proven to be a firm favourite with UK precision subcontractors and OEMs alike, with the majority of supplied machines being configured with either a 10 pallet or twin pallet APC.
Due to the growing requirement in the UK to compete with 'low cost' overseas operations, Matsuura has seen a dramatic rise in the number of multi pallet machines capable of proven and reliable unmanned operation supplied in the UK.
We consider our full range of machine tools to be at the leading edge of proven unmanned running technology.
On April 17-19, 2007, Matsuura will hold its annual Open House - theme being 'Lights Out Manufacturing'.
On show will be a vast array of multi pallet 5-axis, horizontal and vertical machine tools.
