The full-featured GEN TURN SL-20Y2 8-axis 20 mm Swiss twin-spindle mill/turn center includes a dual Y- and C-axis for simultaneous front and backside machining for 20 mm Swiss single set-up machining.
The sub-spindle works independently from the main spindle for enhanced machining efficiency. Both the main spindle and sub-spindle feature a high-performance C-axis with full contouring capability and 360,000 radial positions. There is a removable guide bushing to lower operating costs and reduce set-up time for shorter parts having a low aspect ratio that do not require the use of a guide bushing.
The 10,000 RPM main spindle and 8,000 RPM sub-spindles are driven by 5 HP Mitsubishi motors and feature rigid tapping. All of the driven tools also feature rigid tapping.
The standard cut-off separation confirmation wand-switch ensures that the part has been properly cut off prior to the resumption of machining to avoid crashes. A part ejector with a part eject confirmation sensor switch and spindle flush collect clean-out is standard. Proper safe parts ejection is assured when the part eject piston travels to the end of its stroke when the proper end effector is utilized.
Thirty tool stations that include eight driven tools are included in the basic machine package.
Seventeen tool positions are provided for the main spindle:
- Six turning tools
- Four drilling/boring tools
- Five cross driven tools
- Two deep hole drilling tools
- Additional static and driven tools can be added.
Thirteen tool positions are provided for the sub-spindle:
- Three turning tools
- Four drilling/boring tools
- Three I.D. tools
- Three axial driven tools
- Additional static and driven tools can be added.
Up to 38 tool stations with up to 23 live tools are available to allow efficient machining of complex parts completed in one seamless operation.
The Y-axis for the sub-spindle is not just for Y-axis features on the workpiece. Benefits include:
- Doubles the dedicated back-working tooling availability
- From four tool positions to eight tool positions due to Y-axis shift
- Can use any mix of eight driven or static tools-even three turning tools
- Provides the extra tooling to create the most productive balance between the work on the main and sub-spindle for more production throughput
- Provides the extra tooling to make effective use of the included Tool Life Management feature for extended production capability
- Provides the ability to electronically trim the tool center in the Y-axis to find the optimum cutting performance for any given tool
- Can improve tool life
- Can reduce tool chatter for better accuracy and surface finish.
The standard Mitsubishi M830 high-performance CNC control features a 64-bit CNC dedicated CPU with efficient RISC processor. This technology provides a 270,000 block-per-minute processing speed (4,500 BPS) and 2,000 block look-ahead. G12.1 polar coordinate machining is a standard feature that simplifies programming. Program memory features a 10 GB solid-state resident hard drive and 32 GB SD and USB card slots with direct program operation and full edit capability. An RJ-485 Ethernet interface and RS-232 DB-25 connections are provided. Tool life management is a standard feature.
The GEN TURN Swiss machines are also available in 32 mm and 42 mm sizes for larger work.
