Marubeni Citizen-Cincom’s Miyano BNA-42S2 fixed-head CNC lathe is said to be stable, accurate and strong with a compact body. Its two spindles and one turret enable back machining.
Multiple toolholders enable the use of many tools for flexibility within the machine’s compact design. The eight-station turret offers half indexing and is said to standardize setups and speed change-over to a different workpiece. With a number of standard accessories and NC functions, the BNA-42S2 is a cost-effective way to increase productivity without losing quality, the company says.
The Miyano BNA-42S2 will be on display with the MSL65 short loader as well as four Cincom Swiss-type lathes, two Miyano fixed-head lathes, the Laser L2000, Citizen LFV technology, servo wire ejection, and bar loaders.

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.

Laser Technology "Turns" into a Turning Tool
This new technology uses a laser to act as a cutting tool to "turn" parts from solid barstock. This high-speed precision turning machine is especially useful for micromachining, enabling high accuracy for small, complex parts that are often delicate and difficult to machine when implementing conventional turning processes.
