The Maxxturn 65 lathe is fitted with a Y axis, driven tools, a high-precision C axis, and it runs high rapid-motion speeds. A swing loader is included for automatic loading and feeding out of the machined parts. Two linear axes with high feed rates and an additional B axis in the swivel head guarantee short loading times and fast setup, the company says. As a result, preformed raw parts can also be inserted position-oriented into the clamping device. The gantry loader transports the finished workpieces from the machine and places them on an accumulating conveyor.
The high driving power of the spindle combined with optimal torque curve ensures economic efficiency in cutting steel, as well as high-speed cutting of aluminum, the company says. The main spindle provides a bar capacity of as much as 65 mm and is supported with extra large precision bearings. The tailstock is set up on the linear roller slide and can be positioned automatically within a range of 500 mm.
On the Maxxturn 65 S equipped with a counter spindle, the counter spindle headstock is placed on a separate linear roller slide and can be positioned within a range of 580 mm. The toolholder consists of a 12-position VDI30 radial turret with single-motor engineering and quick-change system. All 12 stations can accept driven toolholders.
