The MT Series has twin spindles and two individual machining areas. The turrets and spindles are designed parallel to each other. This design makes parts which need two processes be finished on one machine. With the addition of a gantry-type robot, utilization of floor space increases while labor costs decrease. Depending on cycle time, single robot arm/single stocker and twin robot arms/twin stockers for high production chucking work are both available on the MS/MT series CNC lathes. These lathes come equipped with either 6” or 8” chucks on spindles that rotate at 6,000/4,500 RPMs respectively. The MT control offers a robot teaching function that the operator can adjust positioning. The function coordinates the robot arm, on-screen positioning diagram, input coordinates, number and names of positions, 3 axes settings and single axis settings. Read More
