The ML16II/40 tool room lathe has 17" swing and 40" length with a 2.04" spindle bore. With an 18 HP, 4,000 RPM spindle, it generates 124 ft-lbs. of torque. Standard with an eight station electro-mechanical turret, full enclosure and more.
The Milltronics VM3018IL has 30" x 18" x 22" travels and a 34" x 18" table that supports 3,140 lbs. table weight at full speed.
Milltronics will feature the ML16II/40 combination lathe and the VM3018IL performance VMC at IMTS.
ML16II/40
The ML16II/40 (X/Z travels: 11"/44.5") is a combination lathe that offers manual and CNC operations for tool rooms and job shops. The ML Series can be configured with many options and other features such as bore sizes and bed lengths-including live tooling and C-axis.
The ML16II/40 tool room lathe has 17" swing and 40" length with a 2.04" spindle bore. With an 18 HP, 4,000 RPM spindle, it generates 124 ft-lbs. of torque. Standard with an eight station electro-mechanical turret full enclosure.
Milltronics ML Series machines are equipped with the 9000 Series control that includes 120 GB disk storage, 4 GB memory, improved graphic performance, mid-travel tactile keys and a 15" LCD touchscreen. The 9000 control allows operators to run parts programmed conversationally or by toolpaths generated by a CAM system.
ML16II/40 specifications:
- X/Z travels: 11/44.5"
- Swing over bed: 17"
- Gap distance: 12.75"
- Rapid traverse rate: 500 IPM
- Spindle nose: A2-5
- Spindle range: 100 RPM to 4,000 RPM
- AC spindle motor: 18/12 HP
- Tool capacity: eight
- Machine weight: 6,000 lbs.
VM3018IL
The VM3018IL (XYZ travels: 30" x 18" x 22") is a performance VMC equipped with a 40-taper BIG-PLUS dual-contact inline spindle.
"Inline spindles run smooth and quiet with minimal heat and reduced vibration providing better surface finish and longer tool life. The 12,000 RPM inline spindle on the VM3018IL has a dual wound spindle motor for faster acceleration/deceleration and more torque. The Milltronics IL Series machines also have bigger castings, faster rapids and more standard features," said a company spokesperson.
Milltronics IL Series machines are equipped with the 9000 Series control that includes 120 GB disk storage, 4 GB memory, improved graphic performance, mid-travel tactile keys and a 15" LCD touch screen. The 9000 control allows operators to run parts programmed conversationally or by toolpaths generated by a CAM system.
The 9000 Series control also supports the optional ChipBoss feature that uses proprietary algorithms to calculate toolpaths and control maximum allowable cutter engagement. ChipBoss lets operators use the whole length of a tool rather than just the tip, which means they can cut profiles at full depth rather than taking multiple depth passes.
"This new optional software works by automatically controlling the tool's chip load, keeping it constant and creating the optimal chip, which results in faster cycle times, better tool life and more accurate parts. Cycle times (depending on geometry) can be reduced by as much as 50% with up to 3-5x better tool life," said the spokesperson.
VM3018IL specifications:
- Table size: 34" x 18"
- Table load: 30,140 lbs.
- XYZ travels 30" x 18" x 22"
- Rapid feed/cutting feed: 1,200 IPM/1,000 IPM
- Spindle taper: BIG-PLUS ISO No. 40
- Spindle RPM: 12,000
- Spindle HP: 24/15 HP
- ATC stations: 30
- Machine weight: 10,700 lbs.
