Heavy Duty Lathe added to Machining Department

Heavy Duty Lathe added to Machining Department

YANG Heavy duty Linear Lathe - ML60A

A recent addition to our Machining department is a YANG ML-60A heavy duty lathe.

This will give us the capacity to manufacture and finish larger components.

Delivery times should be reduced, large batch orders that are forged on site can be going through the final machining phase whilst forging is still taking place, ensuring the quickest turnaround possible.

Further information:

Spindle rotation with the four speed gear box provides high torque at any speed which makes the ML-60A suitable for turning and contouring any kind of material.

The 45 degree slant bed design contributes to reaching the goal of manufacturing automation by providing easy chip disposal, easy loading the unloading of work pieces as well as contributing to the rigidity necessary for stable cutting.

Multi-function turret with either 8-12 tool holders allows for more choices when determining machining operations. An optional VDI turning of any part shape. Faster change tooling over and high precision machining are easily achieved.

The locking power of the programmable tailsock can reach up to 5900 kgf, and its thrust force can reach up to 1650 kgf. The programmable tailstock can be efficiently positioned by programmed commands.

Easy maintenance is achieved by having a separate and movable coolant tank, chip conveyor and chip bucket.

High rigidity, high power efficiency (standard 22/26 kW, optional 30/37 kW), and large working area makes the ML-60A ideal for heavy duty machining.

High-tech linear guideways provide fast traverse speeds and ensure long lasting cutting accuracy by minimizing friction and thermal deformation.
