Improved turning centre productivity

CMZ UK will be keen to emphasise the build quality, power and rigidity levels its range of machines can provide at cost-effective prices.

CMZ UK will be keen to emphasise the build quality, power and rigidity levels its range of machines can provide at cost-effective prices at MACH 2016.

With six machines on its stand, the company will be promoting the productivity and automation levels that can be achieved from its turning centres. The machines at MACH will include the TA, TC and TX lines that have proven successful in the UK marketplace.

From the TA stable, CMZ will be showing its TA 20 YS-640, TA 30 Y-1100 and the TA 25 YS-640 + GL20 II. The smaller TA 20 YS-640 is a flexible and productive machine with 65mm diameter bar capacity, driven tools, a Y-axis and sub spindle for backworking operations. Highlighting the automation potential of the TA series, CMZ will have the TA 25 YS-640 + GL20 II alongside the TA 20.

The TA 25 turning centre will demonstrate how a turning centre with driven tools, Y-axis and sub-spindle can work autonomously with CMZ's own gantry loading system. The versatile, fast and reliable loading system is powered by Fanuc servo motors on all axes to deliver impressive precision, repeatability and productivity.

The final machine from the TA line to be shown at MACH is the TA 30 Y-1100. This turning centre is the long bed derivative of the TA range for processing parts up to and beyond 1m in length.

With driven tooling capability, a Y-axis and an impressive 77mm spindle bore, the TA 30 is ideal for producing relatively large and complex parts in one hit. Furthermore, the driven tools on the TA series are powerful and fast; this is highlighted by the 12kW spindle motor that generates 75Nm of torque with speeds up to 12,000rpm for excellent metal removal rates.

From the TC stable, CMZ will be introducing the TC 35 Y-1350 and the TC 30 Y-800. The TC 35 Y-1350 CNC turning centre is a workhorse of a machine with driven tools and Y-axis capability as well as a self-centring steady mounted on a servo slide.

The servo steady allows the production of long thin parts; at MACH, this will appear alongside the TC 30 Y-800. This Y-axis machine is fitted with a powerful and fast driven tool system that has a 12kW motor running at 12,000rpm with a notable 105Nm of torque. This combination has been developed for material removal rates that offer increased productivity levels. Available in bed lengths of 800mm and 1,350mm, the range has 12 or 16 tool station turrets with the opportunity for all tool stations to be driven.

From the TX range of multi-turret, multi-spindle CNC turning centres, CMZ will introduce the TX 66 Y2 Quattro, a two turret, twin spindle CNC turning centre for one hit machining processes. The TX series is available with two or three turrets that all have Y-axes and driven tools. Capable of accommodating bar diameters of 52mm or 66mm, the TX series also permits the integration of robot loading.

CMZ machines are ideal for machining bar diameters from 52mm to 77mm and with bed lengths of 400mm, 640mm and 1,100mm the length of parts that can be produced is also generous. With automation being a current buzzword, CMZ can supply its machines with automation solutions that range from a barfeeders through to a robot arm and even a robotic gantry loading facility – or even all three.
