The Cyclone 52-TTMY CNC mill-turn machine comes with 32-tools and a Mitsubishi control. Featuring full bar, chuck and shaft machining capability with 2” bar capacity and 6” chucks, the integral main and integral subspindles feature 6,000-rpm capability for fine surface finishes, as well as a C axis so that milling and drilling operations can be completed all in one operation on the front and back side of the workpiece. The Y axis features ± 40 mm of off-center movement to allow the completion of off-center work in the same chucking.

The 0.3-second indexing of the dual 16-station live tool turrets helps keep cycle times low, and any combination of live tooling or ID and OD static tools can be mounted to provide 32-tool stations.

The 30-hp AC digital spindle motor provides ample power for roughing operations. The machine power, coupled with the rigidity of heavily ribbed cast-iron construction, enhances productivity and provides for enhanced surface finish and improved tool life, the company says.

  • The Evolution of the Y Axis on Turn-Mill Machines

    Introduced to the turn-mill machine tool design in about 1996, the Y axis was first used on a single-spindle, mill-turn lathe with a subspindle. The idea of a Y axis on a CNC originated from the quality limitation of polar interpolation and the difficulty in programming, not from electronic advances in controls or servomotor technology as one might commonly think.
